Martin County Remembers September 11th
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Dear Brothers, Sisters and Patriots,
This year marks the Seventh anniversary of the murderous attacks on our Country that occurred on September eleventh. As a memorial to our fallen comrades, the civilian victims, and those who have sacrificed in the military, both past and present, The Professional Firefighters & Paramedics of Martin County in partnership with Martin County Fire Rescue are hosting a month long tribute. The event will feature an exhibit called New York September 11 by the world renowned Magnum Photographers Group. This display consists of very large and powerful original photographs taken by Magnum photographers on the morning of September 11th. It was originally shown at the New York Historical Museum and has been outside of New York only twice before. This will be the first and only showing in Florida and exclusively in Martin County. We will also be displaying artifacts from Ground Zero including a piece of steel I-beam from one of the World Trade Center Towers.
As part of the month long effort we are inviting your department to send your Honor Guard / Color Guard and or Pipe & Drum Band to participate in the daily ceremony including the posting of the colors and standing honor watch over the exhibit while it is open to the public. We are now taking reservations (statewide) so that each interested Department can be guaranteed a day in September to represent their agency. Of course these slots will fill up fast and will be filled on a first come first served basis. This will be a high profile event and we are expecting comprehensive media coverage. We hope you will consider sending a delegation to participate in this honorable endeavor. We are currently working on discounted and possibly free lodging for our Honor Guard guests. The goal is as simple as it is imperative: Remind all Americans of the people who lost their lives and those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th 2001, and to honor our military who protect this amazing Country.
We must never forget. You can help.
