Operation Patriot's "Mission 343" for injured Firefighters through the FLRBA
On Sept. 6, volunteers will place 343 flags at Ontario Beach Park in Rochester, NY, one for each firefighter who died at the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The flags will stand day and night through Sept. 11, each bearing the name of a firefighter who perished at the towers. This noble effort, dubbed "Mission: 343," is the work of Operation Patriot Foundation.Mission: 343 is being organized by Mark Rossney and Operation Patriot Foundation, which was founded after the attacks and pays tribute to firefighters, law enforcement, first responders and active and retired military personnel. The nonprofit group raises money to support organizations that assist them, and it is offering $50 sponsorships for each flag to benefit the Finger Lakes Regional Burn Association.
On Sunday, August 15th FLRBA Executive Director Paul Schwartzman was asked to attach a badge containing the name of a fallen firefighter from 9/11 to a flag, one of 343 being placed at Ontario Beach Park as part of Mission: 343, recognizing the sacrifices made on 9/11.
There is no better way to remember the sacrifice that they made on that day. Please find out how you can sponsor, and receive, one of the 343 American flags that will stand in tribute on September 11, 2011 to those how gave their lives at Ground Zero so that other might survive.

YNN news coverage- Mission: 343 Field of Honor story2011 Burn Camp
What a Great time!This year our Campers spent a memorable day at the National Soaring Museum on Harris Hill in Elmira, NY.
Had lots of fun, thrills and excitement speeding around the Go-Kart track at the Harris Hill Amusement Park.
The Campers and Counselors even took to the sky with a wonderful ballooning experience with Richard Buckles and his 90,000 cubic foot hot air balloon, "Typnady".
Thank you Campers, Counselors and Camp Director

See you all at our next FLRBA event, and we can't wait until 2012 "Burn Camp"
