Join us for Flag Placement, Wed., Sept. 9th

By cmurden | September 3, 2009

The Firefighter Steven Coakley Foundation is presenting the “Flags of Remembrance” in honor of all those lost on September 11, 2001.

On Wednesday, September 9th we are placing 2,997 flags in the shape of the Twin Towers in memory of those that were lost on 9/11 at the front lawn of the Palmer Building off Monroe Road.

We are encouraging all 9/11 families personally touched, all emergency service workers and the entire Charlotte area community to join us in “Never Forgetting” those that were lost on that fateful day by helping to create this moving display. This flag placing event will be broadcast live by FOX News Rising with Jon Wilson from 6 am-9 am.

WEDNESDAY 9/9/09 – 6:00 am

The Palmer Building

“We Will Never Forget …”

Iraqi Coins Support Veterans and Firefighters

In what has been called 'the ultimate irony', Products for Good, a local Charlotte company has created patriotic shadowboxes featuring Iraqi coins. These coins were discovered by US & British Coalition Forces in Basrah, Iraq in 2003 and were decommissioned by Saddam because they did not have his face on them. These patriotic shadowboxes are available for each of our military branches, a special White House Edition and a Fire Service Edition. Products for Good will donate 20% of your purchase order to wounded veterans AND donate 20% to the Firefighter Steven Coakley Foundation. Your shadowbox will honor those who served our country proudly.

About the Foundation

“ We will never forget …” best describes the mission of the foundation. Not just about what happened to so many people on September 11, 2001 and how our lives have changed but “we will never forget” about how Steve and so many firefighters lived their lives and were always there to help us. The charter of the foundation is to provide educational scholarships, donate funds and/or equipment to local emergency services to increase the safety of the public and first responders, and hold an annual memorial weekend to honor Firefighter Steven Coakley, FDNY Engine 217 & those lost on 9/11.
