Wall of the Fallen: A Special Request from the Chairman

This letter is to appeal to you to help us remember the men and women who have lost their lives in the line of service within the towing and recovery industry and have had their name placed honourably upon “The Wall Of The Fallen”.

We unveiled the beautiful statue and Memorial Wall on September 9th of 2006. In September 15th 2007 we placed 94 names on the wall, and then again on September 20th of 2008 we placed another 61 names on the wall. I have proudly been placed in the seat of being the Chairman of the committee for The Wall Of The Fallen. Our committee has multiple duties but, first and foremost, we need your assistance in obtaining the names of the men and women in your area who have been killed in the line of service.

The name unveiling for 2009 is presently scheduled on Saturday, September 19th, 2009 and in an effort to ensure timely delivery of the bronze nameplates we request that you submit any names you might have prior to our cutoff date of July 1st. We do not want to exclude anyone from the wall so we are respectfully requesting your assistance in remembering your fallen comrades. Please try to notify your fellow towers of this honour and submit anyone who has died doing the job they loved so that he or she can be remembered on The Wall of the Fallen - a tribute to our deceased comrades.

Please remember that there is no cost to anyone for submitting the name on the wall. Just download the application and fill it out as completely as you can and return it directly to the museum at the address listed below. You may be contacted by one of the committee members to help assist with the approval process should there be any pertinent information missing from the application.

Please go to our web site www.wallenofthefallen.com and download the forms, fill it out and send it to the museum at:
ITRHFM (International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame Museum ) 3315 Broad Street Chattanooga TN USA 37408 Phone 423 267 3132
Sincerely,
Kenneth Cruse, Chairman, Wall Of The Fallen
