"We're all set up here, so nobody forgets," Andover Fire Chief Jerry Streich said.

That's when something unexpected happened. An eagle landed right on top of the aerial truck helping to hold the American Flag.

"Isn't that unbelievable?" Streich said. "This eagle just landed on the aerial while we're doing the 9/11 memorial. Phenomenal."
