On Sunday September 11, 2011 at 1 p.m., we will be recognizing and remembering the 21 London Fire Fighters who have given their lives in service to their community. We will also be remembering the 343 members of the FDNY, Police, EMS personnel and the thousands of citizens that lost their lives in the World Trade Centre attacks on September 11, 2001.

This year will be very special as not only are we commemorating the 10^th anniversary of 9/11, but we will also be dedicating our own monument to London’s 21 Fallen Fire Fighters. This monument is a co-operative effort between the Association and City of London and will be a great addition to our community. It will give families, friends and the general public a solemn place to pause, remember and reflect.

I would encourage all members, and families if they wish, to attend this special event. Full dress uniform, white shirt, with cap.

Fraternally,

Jim Holmes, President

London Professional Fire Fighters Association
