"NEVER FORGET" These words meant something 10 years ago to all of us, but as time goes by we tend to forget!

VCA! I'm here to remind you that we CAN "NEVER FORGET" that tragic day we were attacked on American soil!

On September 10, 2011 I will be running the 10th Anniversary "Never Forget Respect Cruise" in honor of Port Authority Police Officer Lt. Robert Cirri Sr.

He lost his life that day running back into the building to save a woman in a wheel chair! His dream was to own a Viper one day, he and his wife Eillen had a "Viper Fund" piggy bank set up so one day they could own his dream car!

Unfortunately his dream never came true for him due to his HEROIC actions! His wife did buy a Viper in his name and is a VCA Member now. The plate on the car is "PAPD LT" Never Forget"





About The Run: First and foremost the Run is NOT about US! It is a way to pay OUR respect and thanks to those who lost their lives that day.

Cost: Minimum of a $25.00 Donation per car, all proceeds (after expenses ex decals) will go to a PAPD suggested charity

Date: September 10, 2011
Time: 8 AM
Start From: 20 Meadowlands Parkway, Secaucus, NJ 07094
Next Stop: 34th Street next to Jacob Javits Center 8:45 am

12pm Arrive in Hoboken for Lunch at Dino and Harry's (pay as you go)

List of Hotels in Secaucus with covered parking, starting with the closest to the starting point:(no special rates, book early)

God Bless America!

Re: 10th Anniversary 9-11 Run to Ground Zero Dedicated to PAPD Officer Lt. Robert Ci

We are all set for tomorrow's cruise to Ground Zero, the weather looks like it's going to be great during our cruise!

As a reminder, I am asking for a $25 donation per car to offset the cost of the 911 decal and make a donation to the family of fallen PAPD Officer
Cortazzo, the 38th officer who died due to the events of that traffic day.

Lunch is at Dino and Harrys Restaurant in Hoboken, NJ located at the corner of 14th street and Garden Street. Lunch will be your responsibility, they are preparing Steak Sandwiches, Chicken Sandwiches and Salmon.

I look forward to seeing you, and please note we have plenty of room if you have not responded yet. Feel free to just show up!

Have a great day!

Bobby

Bobby, sorry for the late notice, I'd like to join everyone tomorrow so I'll see you in Secaucus. Should I just bring a donation with me or is there a website/address that I send it to? Thanks

Just got back from the 10th Anniversary 9-11 Respect Cruise, thanks to Bobby Cerchione for putting together a great day. I am still scratching my head trying to figure out how much pull you have to have to have them open one entire tunnel in the Lincoln Tunnel just for the Vipers:headbang:. If you haven't been to Ground Zero lately, they are making great progress with completing the memorial. Looking at the bronze plaque outside the fire house makes it difficult to hold back tears. After a tour around the area, we capped off the day at Dino and Harry's restaurant for lunch before heading home.
Once again, I cant say enough about the effort that Bobby and the New Jersey club made to make this a great day.:2tu:

Re: 10th Anniversary 9-11 Run to Ground Zero Dedicated to PAPD Officer Lt. Robert Ci

I want to thank everyone that attended yesterday's event! I hope today you can reflect back on our run and now put the pieces together from that horrible day here on American soil.

This year we didn't see distruction...we saw construction! Yet the memories, the pain and sorrow are still present.

Never Forget VCA!

Special thanks to the Port Authority PD for our ****** from NJ to Ground Zero.
Thank you to Secaucus PD as well in assisting PAPD with getting us out of town.
Thank you to VCA Member Eileen Cirri, Widow of PAPD Lt. Robert Cirri for donating all those wonderful 911 Never Forget Shirts!
We love you and will always have you and your family in our hearts and prayers!
Thank you to Dino of Dino and Harrys, a true friend of the VCA!
Thank you to the folks of PA/WV for the wonderful 911 pins and ribbons as well as making the trip!

So far we raised $1,260.00 dollars for the Family of the 38th Fallen PAPD officer Cortazzo, K9 unit.
Thank you to John Tober and NARRA for their generous donation, and NJ VCA Member Joe Aioa!

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to donate to this family, they can use our help, just like the people of 911 needed Officer Cortazzo's help!

God Bless America!
