Today, we remember the lives stolen on 5/14 and stand with the families, survivors, and members of the East Side community still carrying this pain every day.

Four years ago, a racist terrorist came to Buffalo and targeted innocent Black Buffalonians at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue.

We say their names and honor their lives:

Celestine Chaney
Roberta Drury
Andre Mackniel
Katherine Massey
Margus Morrison
Heyward Patterson
Aaron Salter Jr.
Geraldine Talley
Ruth Whitfield
Pearl Young

Buffalo will never forget them. And Buffalo will never let hate define who we are.

May we continue to build a Buffalo rooted in compassion, unity, and justice.

This weekend is National Fallen Firefighters Weekend ❤️‍🔥🕊️

Our hearts are heavy as we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. At The Firefighter Arno Memorial Foundation, we grieve our angel… our light… our why—Jason Arno. ❤️

Jay’s courage, selflessness, and love for others continue to guide everything we do. He lived to serve, and because of him, we carry that mission forward every single day.

We are praying for every family who has lost someone they love in the line of duty. You are not alone. We stand with you, we mourn with you, and we honor your heroes. 🙏

Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep Jay’s legacy alive—by taking care of first responders and their families, just like he did. 💙🚒
Forever in our hearts. Never forgotten. 🕯️

A Big THANK YOU to our friends at Wardynski Meats for their generous donations!

Having recently completed a tricky transmission tear down and reassembly on the historic EMC, our Famous Master Mechanic Jack was asked to join the Artemis II team to lend a hand if needed.

A NASA rep noted that “we need the right guy just in case something breaks down - we just can’t mess around on the dark side of the moon so we had to get the best and we’re lucky Capt Kick said that for the good of the world he would try to manage for the short time Jack is away”

Safe travels!!
