To commemorate 9/11, the Sir Knights of the 4th Degree and members of Bishop Murphy Council 3257 (Warren) came together on September 10th under the leadership of GK Dennis Thomas, DD117 Matt Elias, and host DD127 Mark Elias. Alongside the AoD Knights on Bikes, they organized a remarkable chicken dinner for the local heroes at community firehouses.

 

This event was a heartfelt gesture to express gratitude to the brave firefighters serving at Engine 56 Detroit Fire, Hazel Park Fire, Ferndale Fire, and Warren Firehouses 1 and 3. These courageous individuals put their lives on the line every day to keep their communities safe, and it was a privilege to show them much deserved appreciation.

 

It was a reminder of the strength and unity that can be found within our communities, and the importance of expressing gratitude to those who protect and serve us every day.
