      That's truly amazing that you have exceeded the goal for this project (by quite a bit!) It just goes to show the kind of people that the FDNY are, and who they have touched everywhere! RIP Bronko!!!
      I'll never forget the FDNY piping in Kilkenny Ireland and will never forget the 343.

      Now pipe major of an Arizona FD band, I met and went to lunch with the NYC band members at the 2002 IAFF Memorial in Colorado Springs -- great bunch of guys. As a former Long Island FF who happened to be in lower Manhattan when the 343 perished on 9/11/01, I know there's none better nor with a more poignant history than FDNY. Read Kerry Sheridan's book "Bagpipe Brothers" about the 9/11 aftermath for the band and the toll taken on its members and their families. This pipe band deserves all possible support!
