2008 Letter

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

In 2002, Pete Latreille and Dale Winter felt the need to spend September 11th with other fire fighters, remembering what had happened on that day the year before. That year they played golf and talked … a lot. They reflected on what had happened on 9/11, and how to honor those 343 fire fighters who had made the ultimate sacrifice. That day began the tradition of gathering fire fighters every September 11th to spend time together, play golf, and pay tribute to our fallen brothers from FDNY. Every year the numbers have grown.

This year they felt they could do more. With the devastation that cancer has on our department and nationwide, it was decided to raise money for cancer research, and to donate that money in the names of the 343. The organization they chose is called The V Foundation, a charitable cancer research program begun by the late famed basketball coach Jim Valvano, NC State. During one of Jim's final interviews he stated, “I want to help every cancer patient I can now. I don't know if I can handle that, but it's the only conceivable good that can come out of this.” Now we can help to carry on that tradition as well.

We are sending five player registration forms and five sponsorship applications to each station. Please post this letter on the Union Board, and feel free to make copies of the forms to distribute.

September 11th is a special day for all fire fighters, a day of reflection, sorrow, and pride. We hope you can join us, whether in person or in financial support.

Fraternally,

Michael K. Day Sr.
President
