World Trade Center artifact delivered to Carroll County

Gently placing her hands on an artifact from the World Trade Center, Debbie Raver was among more than 50 people who surrounded the steel beam after it was delivered to the Carroll County Volunteer Emergency Services Association in Westminster. Officers from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, Maryland State Police, Westminster Police Department and Carroll County fire companies escorted the relic into Carroll County Wednesday evening.

"This makes me feel deeply patriotic and devoted to my country," said Raver, of Finksburg. "It's personal for me because my husband volunteered to help with the recovery effort on 9/11."

Raver said her husband Don Raver is a volunteer firefighter for the Reese Volunteer Fire Company. Raver was among the group who helped transfer the artifact from JFK Airport in New York to Westminster.
