SafetyHeroes.org has organized an important fund-raising event for the families of two fallen Orange County US Marines: Marine Sgt. Major Robert Cottle & Marine Lance Cpl. Rick Centanni – true American Heroes.
It is estimated that there will be at least 125 recognized safety heroes in attendance to honor the lives of these Marines: law enforcement/fire & Marines (fought with Cottle & Centanni).
Shawn Alladio of K38 Rescue is one of the invited Orange County safety guests, ‘Supporting our warriors and their families is a sacred trust for each American family. Our way of life, our freedom and our safety is reliant on their sacrifices. To say ‘thank you’ is not enough. Participate through action and volunteering your time to show these families they truly are not forgotten is the best way to honor their service’. Says Shawn a renowned water safety rescue specialist in the use of Personal Watercraft for rescue and patrol.
“Ronald Reagan once said ‘Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem’. He was right. Sgt. Major Robert J.

In addition to these injuries many will suffer with various recovery issues. Cops 4 Causes is committed to ensuring that services our fighting men and women need will be available when they return. Please join with us to support our efforts to support our troops. Show your support by giving to the Cops 4 Causes Returning Hero’s Veterans Fund.
