The first Brother featured on this calender is retired FDNY Captain Billy "Blazes" Spinelli. He is the man behind the "343" hats; having done them at the first, second, and fifth year; and now the tenth. All proceeds from the hat sales have gone and will continue to be donated to the FDNY Bravest Scholarship Fund.

If you are interested in 10 year Remembrance "343" hats, info as follows: front of hat says FDNY with 343 underneath. On the right side is the American Flag. Back of the hat says "In Memory of 9/11/01." Left side will say "10 years" this time.

Hats come in black or blue, lettering is red. Prices as follows:

1 dozen $13.00 per hat plus postage

3 dozen $12.00 per hat " ".

Individual hats are $15.00 per hat, minimum of 2 hats per order plus postage.

Through Billy's efforts, to date the 343 hats have given $38,070.00 to the fund. This is a one shot deal; the next time he will do the hats will be 9/11/2016.

Contact Captain Spinelli at BlazesL59@aol.com or just give him a call;

phone number: 914-961-5199

They go really fast if you want to lay out for a dozen or three. I took five boxes of them to the NASCAR race at Dover, Del. in June 2002 and sold out in about an hour.

NEVER FORGET.
