From organizer, retired Las Vegas Firefighter, Mike Tomko, “Sadly, many have forgotten. Sadly, many of our school children don’t even know what September 11th or Patriot’s Day is, or what its meaning is. It is up to us to change that. We need to start raising funds and teaching awareness. Awareness of what happened that day, and awareness on what a firefighter, police officer, a military personnel face on a daily basis. The mental and physical toll that we see and feel.”
