For Immediate Release: August 15, 2010
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.
Marine Sgt. Major Robert Cottle was the first LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) Officer killed in Afghanistan. Marine Lance Cpl. Rick Centanni is the son of a City of Santa Ana (Orange County) Police officer, Jon Centanni. The Cottle/Centanni Fund-Raising event will be taking place from 6-8pm right before Ted Nugent’s Anaheim concert at the House of Blues.
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. Cottle and Lance Cpl. Rick Centanni made a difference. We shall never forget”. States, Mark Peacock, founder of SafetyHeroes.org and the event organizer.
