Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia will provide a symbolic fly-over at the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund with the Georgia Fraternal Order Of Leatherheads Society (FOOLS), 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb on Sept. 6, 2025 at Truist Park, Atlanta, Ga. Opening ceremonies are at 8:30 a.m., followed by a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. to mark the time the first plane hit the World Trade Center in New York City, N.Y. CAF Airbase Georgia is arranging a symbolic “missing man” formation with several World War II-era aircraft.
The stair climb is open to all who wish to honor the memory of the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11.
“Airbase Georgia is proud to support this memorial to the heroes of the Fire Department of New York City and mark the occasion with aircraft that bring back the memories of another group of American heroes, the Greatest Generation that fought for freedom in World War II,” said Airbase Leader Joel Perkins.
The Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, Georgia Chapter, is dedicated to providing support and relief to Georgia’s first responders in need.
