Valor Mission Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is the product of a 12-year journey that began when a small group of patriotic businessmen and active duty service members decided they wanted to make a difference in the lives of veterans suffering from injuries incurred through combat. In this sentiment to give back, Boot’n & Shoot’n was created in 2012. These Patriots saw the impact of Boot’n & Shoot’n over the past 12 years and asked the question, “How can we make an impact 365 days a year?”
The answer to that question is Valor Mission Project. Valor Mission Project utilizes a strategic vision which raises money outside of Boot’n Shoot’n, while keeping the same passion that created the most patriotic day in Texas.
2024 Honoree Information
LODD – BOSTON FF Michael Kennedy Ladder 15
On March 26, 2014, a fire broke out in Boston’s Back Bay. At 2:42 pm, the Boston Fire Department, Engine 33 / Ladder 15 responded to the first alarm and departed for the burning brownstone at 298 Beacon Street.
Michael Kennedy (33), a 6 year veteran of Boston Fire Department and United States Marine Corps Sergeant, who served with 1st Intelligence Battalion during Operation Iraqi Freedom, was among the first firefighters to arrive on the scene. Michael and his Fire Lieutenant, Edward Walsh, entered the front of the building in an effort to search for a resident reported to be inside in a basement unit. The gale force winds blowing across the Charles River at the rear of the building, drove the flames into voids above the basement ceiling. When a door was opened at the rear of the building a flash-over occurred, causing firefighters then entering the front of the building to be blown back out. It is assumed that flashover caused the hose burn through failure that left Michael and Ed’s calls for water “Charge the Line”, unanswered. Though water was being pumped into the line, the hose was burned through at the stairs. A Mayday call was issued and eventually 9 alarms were rung, 16 firefighters were injured that day, many while trying to reach their trapped brothers.
Kennedy sought to work at Engine 33 / Ladder 15, one of the busiest firehouses in the city of Boston. He was one of the first on the scene during the Boston Marathon bombings, rendering life-saving aid to the victims of the attack.
Giving back was a huge part of Kennedy’s life. During his last seven years, he volunteered as a Big Brother to a 14-year-old inner-city youth. He was a member of a national War Veterans Organization, advocate & fundraiser for Massachusetts Fallen Heroes, and very active with Boston’s Burn Foundation.
He was an athlete, marathon runner, certified crossfit trainer, motorcycle enthusiast, a Marine, a firefighter, a loving son, brother, and true Patriot. He was buried with Military Honors in the Fireman’s Lot at Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston Massachusetts.
