Fred V. Morrone will never be forgotten.

On June 3, 2018 I will climb 104 floors of the Freedom Tower and honor Fred Morrone. I am a high school friend of Fred's children. This is one way I can give back to the ultimate sacrifice that he made while saving so many lives. Please consider joining me and click the link below to honor him.

You can also follow my journey as I train for the climb at www.live2climbup.com/

Dear Fred:

15 years! WOW. I wrote to you years ago, to tell you that I have a bracelet with your name on it, in your memory. And because of that bracelet, I feel a connection between us, now and forever.

Fred, thank you again, for the sacrifice you and so many other of America's Finest gave that horrible day. Your sacrifice SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO BE FORGOTTEN, SO HELP ME GOD.

Rest in peace my brother, because your actions and that of our heroes, permitted 25,000 of our fellow countrymen to go home and continue to live the American dream. The same dream our Founding Fathers gave us 240 years ago: "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".

To your family, your loss and sacrifice will ALWAYS be honored as well.

Those who refuse to stand at a sporting event during the playing of the National Anthem because of your resentment to Police Officers, I say this:

You have that right to be disrespectful because of sacrifices such as Fred's. So if you just can't stand because of your feelings about police, come visit the Fallen Officer's Memorial in Washington. And if you still just can't stand for the National Anthem, how about standing for TAPS?

And those enemies of this great country who have felt the might and wrath of the USA, "We've Only Just Begun".

Rest in peace, Fred. We have the watch.

God Bless you, your family, and God Bless the United States of America.

Mere words seem insignificant to honor your heroism and courage which will never be forgotten. On this the twelth anniversary year of the tragic devastation wreaked upon our nation, those brave men and women who lost their lives safeguarding others are remembered and revered.

May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect and gratitude for the distinquished service you gave to your community and country, and for the supreme sacrifice you and your family made on September 11, 2001.

To your family, may God continue to hold you in his arms and may you be comforted by your faith and those who care for you.

It has been seven years, but I still hear your name daily. My father speaks of you and thinks of you constantly. Know that you live on in our hearts, and I know you were a true freind to my Father.

It has been almost seven years since Fred was killed and about 13 years since I last saw him. Occasionally, I check this memorial page to see if anyone else has written a reflection. I often wonder if Fred's family knows how much he meant to so many people.

To Fred's family; I hope that you are at peace knowing that Fred is with the Lord. I hope you know that he touched my life, and many others. Most of all, I hope that you are all still in my prayers.

God Bless.

Dear Fred:
It has been 5 long years since that fateful day. You were a "Cop's Cop" to the end. Though I have never had the honor to meet you, sir, I feel very close to you. For several years now, I have worn a bracelet on my right wrist with your name on it, and the date of "9/11/01".
Thank you, sir, for the dedication and the sacrifice you so willingly made, not only for those in the Trade Center, but for freedom loving people everywhere. And for those of us who wear the badge, you made us proud to be in the same profession as you. You epitomize what police officers are all about...the will to serve AND protect, even at great personal cost to ourselves.
The very blanket of freedom that we as Americans enjoy, is given to us by people such as yourself, who have proven that freedom is not free. Your name, and your sacrifice will NEVER be allowed to be forgotten. Not with the Memorial in Washington, in our hearts, and as long as I wear this bracelet with your name on it. And sir, I wear it with pride and honor, now and as long as our Heavenly Father will allow me. Rest in peace, we carry on in your name and spirit, and those who made the sacrifice with you.
May God bless your family, ease their sorrow, and hold you near to His heart for all eternity. The terroists may have had success in killing thousands of innocent people, but they will NEVER be successful in killing the American spirit, because of people like you. Amen.

I was introduced to Director Morrone one time (on the sidewalk outside of Katz Deli in NYC). It was a few months before 9/11; he could not have been nicer and more down to earth.

Rest in Peace, brother Trooper.

I met Fred when he was my boss as a corporate director of security for a casino. He would come to the Mississippi coast from New Jersey and guide us in our jobs.

I can remember talking to Fred as a young man and picking his brain about life. He was a physically strong man, who instantly gained the respect of others by the way he carried himself. He was the kind of man that I longed to be.

I eventually entered the law enforcement profession and lost contact with Fred. I never got a chance to tell him what I thought of him and what an impression he had left on me.

To the family of Fred Morrone, he was a great man whom I admired greatly. Fred touched my life. Every chance I get, I tell people about my friend from New Jersey. I went to New York to get his name from the twin towers memorial. "Fred V. Morrone" is hanging in my office to remind me what kind of man I should be.

My prayers are with Fred's friends and family.

To those of you who have posted messages; Thank You. A Hero is the man who goes home to his children everynight, who works hard to provide for his family and someone who watches over others, as a civilian or civil servant. Fred Morrone was all of these and more...I miss you.

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.

You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because God honors it.

You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for your fellow man, while serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.

Thank you for your service to America. Your efforts saved thousand that horrible day.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. You will be in our hearts forever.

I tried to attend as many funerals as I could during these darkest of days as my way of showing respect to families and coworkers of all of my brother and sister Officers and Firefighters. I cannot find the words to say how sorry I am that we have lost these great heroes. I cannot express my thanks enough for your bravery and sacrifice. My prayers are with you and all of your families......................AC
