400 Flags Honor 9 11 First Responders | Wilmington News
Description
Retired fire captain Duane Eastmond, who was on the ground during 9/11, stands guard over 400 American flags at his Castle Hayne home — each honoring a fallen first responder. This is his second year displaying the tribute, which includes firefighters, cops, EMTs, and more, with exact numbers for each group. A New Jersey native and former first responder himself, Eastmond recalls the chaos, the decontamination efforts, and the heartbreaking work of identifying and transporting victims. He says that day reshaped his understanding of heroism and duty — and he’s inviting everyone to come pay their respects at 6305 Mossy Rock Court.
