For most of us at StandFast Alliance, we would normally be attending the annual 9/11 Ronald Bucca Memorial Luncheon Tribute on this day with some of our family and friends in the first responder and military community. Unfortunately, due to the extenuating circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the luncheon has been canceled this year.
As Ron would say, we need to finish our mission. So in lieu of the luncheon, we have created a tribute video that honors Fire Marshal Ronald Bucca and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11. We would like to thank the following people for providing video submissions for our tribute video:
Daniel A. Nigro, Commissioner of the New York City Fire Department
Gary Urbanowicz, Executive Director of the NYC Fire Museum
Colonel (Retired) Patrick J. Mahaney, Jr, Senior Advisor in the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN)
Chief Fire Marshal Thomas Kane, FDNY - Bureau of Fire Investigation
Ron’s loving family and friends
We hope you take some time today to reflect on the events that occurred 19 years ago, remember those we have lost, and think about the resilience of our country during these trying times.
