I represent the FDNY Marine Corps Association, a Fraternal Organization of the New York City Fire Department. In the aftermath of the Sept 11th 2001 attacks, the FDNY and City of New York as a whole recieved an incredible outpouring of love and support from every corner of this great country. The FDNY Marine Corps Association, which an Official Organization within the FDNY, with the full support and backing of the FDNY would like to do their small part in ensuring that the families of the brave men who were murdered by a cowardly enemy, here on our soil, are not only never forgotten, but that we help take care of them as well. This fund has been set up to support those families and the spouses and children left behind and they will recieve, through coordination with the FDNY and 14th Marines, 100% of the monies raised through this initiative.  We cannot thank you enough for your support. Semper Fidelis
