The Derby Fire Department is creating a monument to memorialize all those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
Firefighters were granted permission by the Port Authority of NY/NJ to use a piece of steel from the World Trade Center as part of the memorial, which will be placed on the Derby Green.
But the firefighters need your help to offset costs associated with building the memorial.
You can help by purchasing a brick to be placed on the walkway around the monument.
Each brick is $100. Bricks can be etched to memorialize a company, group, individual, family or other loved one.
Each brick is 4 inches and 8 inches and can have up to three lines of text (up to 18 characters per line).
The deadline to receive orders and checks is Tuesday, July 15.
You can order your brick on-line at www.bricksrus.com/order/derby911.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call Bill Nicoletti at 203 – 305-4305 or email at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Payments by check can be mailed to:

The monument will be constructed on the Elizabeth Street side of the Green between the Fireman’s Memorial and the Korean War Memorial.
There will be a dedication ceremony at the Derby Green on September 11, 2014.
