Members of the First-in Fire Foundation held a commemorative ceremony on Sept. 11 at the 9/11 Memorial in Hancock Park, the open space surrounding the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the La Brea Tar Pits.

The memorial tree grove and plaque was installed shortly after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and honors Capt. Charles Burlingame, pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, which was hijacked and flown into The Pentagon.

Julia Klein, left, senior manager of capital projects, joined Lyn MacEwen Cohen, founder and president of the First-In Fire Foundation and Katherine Kotcheff, senior director of campaign and special projects for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County at the ceremony.
