Why?
The purpose of our NEVER FORGOTTEN PLAY DAY is to honor our dear friend Steve Mercado, NYC Firefighter, Engine 40 and Ladder 35, lost in the 9/11 tragedy. Wounded Hero and San Diego Firefighter Mark George, along with fellow firefighter Willie Blas and Steve formed a camaraderie around their reciprocal city Stickball League play from NYC, the Bronx, to San Diego with teams from Cleveland, Florida, and Puerto Rico totaling over 200 players. The three fast friends enjoyed a common denominator in heroism and stickball. In 2001, Mark and Willie hosted Steve and his family and put him on a redeye back to New York, where he immediately went to work saving lives in our nation’s biggest tragedy. Not only did we lose our dear friend, Steve, on that terrible day, but 12 out of the 13 members of Engine 40, Ladder 35, and over 400 heroic public servants in law enforcement and the NY Port Authority first responders.
We will Never Forget our Brother Steve and all those brave heroes that perished on 9/11. This event is the first of our goodwill missions to Never Forget the sacrifice of our dear brothers and sisters on that day. We are asking you to help us to NEVER FORGET and join us in this very special event so they will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Respectfully Yours,
