The Rev. Rod Ermatinger of St. Matthew’s Parish places the first flag Friday morning at a 9/11 memorial outside the Kalispell Fire Hall. The flag was placed in memory of New York Fire Department Chaplain Mychal Judge, who died in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. In the background, students, staff, and family members carry 343 flags honoring the first responders who were killed 10 years ago.
