Greetings,
After much planning and effort, a September 11th Commemorative Coin has been struck to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. This coin is a fundraising project undertaken by FDNY Battalion Chief John Salka and a committee of other firefighters and their friends to fund and support several charitable organizations including the W5 Firefighters World Trade Center Fund, The New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation and the FDNY Veterans of Foreign Wars Post. Go to our website (www.september11anniversaryfund.com) for more information on the charitable funds and to get a look at the beautiful new coin. The coin costs $20 and every penny will be dispersed to the listed funds. This is an opportunity for every firefighter all across America to honor and remember the FDNY Brothers lost on 9/11 and to support the great work that the folks at the Burn Center Foundation, VFW and the W5 Firefighters WTC Fund are doing. Take a look at the web site and post it where every firefighter will have a chance to see it. Thanks!
