Our Inspiration

On September 11, 2001, Police Officer Ken Tietjen gave his life in the line of duty, at age 31, while saving others during The World Trade Center terrorist attacks.

Kenny loved working in the community in his role as a police officer with the Port Authority Police Department in New York and New Jersey and as a volunteer firefighter with Belford Engine in New Jersey. He had an infectious smile and a uncontrollable urge to play practical jokes whenever possible!
