Description

The Never Forget Bracelet was a direct result of the Angels of Courage , which were Fine Silver Christmas ornaments made especially for the fallen heroes. NECO had asked LDC to manufacture the Angels out of the .999 Fine Silver that was recovered from the World Trade Center. Once manufactured the Angels were placed on the Christmas Tree at Bowling Green Park, just outside of Wall Street. After the holidays each of the 427 Angels were engraved with the individual names of the firefighters, police officers and port authority officers that gave their lives on September 11th. The Angels were then given to those victim's families. Soon after NECO received many emotional letters from the families thanking them for this cherished gift. However, one of the most stirring responses did not come from a letter but from a NY City Police Officer working his beat. While walking from ground zero on the day of the tree lighting ceremony Ed DeCristofaro, President of Never Forget and managing partner of LDC, spoke with the officer. He showed the officer what NECO and LDC had created and told him whom the Angels were for. The Police Officer said, in wonderful New York fashion, "That's very nice, really, but we're taken care of. What about the people who weren't cops or firefighters? Why don't you do something for them?" After that a partnership was formed between Never Forget Inc. and NECO to create a charity that would provide scholarships for all family members of the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy. NECO had the All-American Collegiate Scholarship Foundation already in place. But raising money would not be the only goal. The other goal was to give something back to everyone else. That is why this bracelet was created. Not only do the victims family member get the gift of an education but you will have the most sacred and unique piece of history ever created, The Never Forget Bracelet.
