Michael V. Kiefer was a New York City firefighter, assigned to Ladder 132, who loved helping others. He was also a Long Beach Lifeguard and community member who loved life, Long Beach and the ocean.
While helping others, he heroically gave his life on September 11, 2001.
Every year, his sister, Kerri Kiefer-Viverito, pays tribute to her brother and the rest of the fallen heroes of 9/11 with a beautiful display on her front lawn. Each year she places 343 flags, one for each firefighter lost that day. Each flag has the name of the firefighter, along with their rank and company.
