 The
Glenville Fire Company was privileged to be able to host the final
staging area for the New England 911 Memorial Motorcycle Ride that
drew thousands of firefighters, police officers and motorcycle
enthusiasts from all over New England in their ride to Ground Zero
to pay tribute to fallen heroes. The Company arranged to have hot
coffee, juice, bagels, donuts and port a johns for the larger than
expected rolling thunder. Several
of our members who own motorcycles joined the ride with police escort
down to Ground Zero for a memorial prayer and BBQ at an FDNY fire house.
The 2003 event, depicted in photos on this site, was so successful
that it has become an annual event with the Glenville Fire Company
continuing to provide logistical support, participation and brotherly
camaraderie. |
