CAPE MAY, NJ, Sept. 18, 2013 — Thank you to everyone who came out for our annual flag ceremony as we remembered ten years without Brian.
Brian’s mother Judy Faunce proudly displayed her personalized Honor and Remember flag at her home in Wilmington, Delaware over Memorial Day weekend. The Honor and Remember campaign’s mission is to create, establish and promote a nationally recognized flag that would fly continuously as a visible reminder to all Americans of the lives lost in defense [...]
“Don’t know if you will get this. My name is Donald Whitsitt, in 2003 I was a CID agent who worked his death. I pulled out his wallet and saw his pictures and that is the first time after being there since the beginning that it hit me. I swore I would never forget him. Every Veterans Day I buy a six pack and drink with him and salute him even though I never knew him. You can say he touched folks he didn’t even know he did. Be proud of him and never forget, God bless you guys.” CPT Whitsitt
Last week Brian’s mother and sister participated in the NJ Run for the Fallen. This annual event is a organization of runners and support crew whose mission is clear and simple: To run one mile for every New Jersey service member killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and New Dawn. Each mile of sweat and pain and each flag saluted, is to pay homage to one service member’s life and their family.
Tonight’s flag ceremony at Cape May Point is cancelled due to inclement weather. Thank you as always to everyone who comes out to remember Brian with us on this anniversary. His flag will fly again on Sept 18 2013. See you next year.
NJ Run for the Fallen will honor CPT Brian Faunce at Hero Marker #7 at 9:40am on Friday September 28. Each mile of sweat and pain and each flag saluted, is to pay homage to one service member’s life and their family.
Our Fund recently received a gift from the US/NYC Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign in honor of CPT Brian Faunce. This campaign is sponsored by the Gili Family and has been operating since 2007.
