Happy Birthday Vince.

Happy birthday, Vince.

I happened upon Vince's obit in 2001 in the New York Times and cried my eyes out. I can't forget his name, it's a part of my personal 9/11 story. I'm from Tennessee but my family had an apartment on the UWS of Manhattan, and I have had music business dealings there for years, so I feel strongly connected to NYC. Does anyone know if there's a fund for the family or a scholarship set up for the kids?

Happy Birthday Vince. You are never forgotten.

Vinnie,
I cant believe it has been 15 years since you were taken from us. I remember us growing up together at St Kevin's and the Prep and playing ball on 48th Avenue. Been thinking about you these past few days having fond memories of our childhood. Rest in Peace my good friend.

Thank you will never be enough - you are remembered, honored and respected. May God bless your family with peace

My family participated in a stair climb and received Lt. Vincent Halloran on our badge. So sad that so many people were lost. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. He was a true hero and we will never forget all that he did for our country.

I participated Ina 10K run for the fallen event this morning, I rec'd a badge with Lt. Vincent's name & picture. I have spent the entire day thinking about him & his family. God Bless you all, he will never be forgotten.

Remembering you and your sacrifice. Always with us, we will never forget.

As part of a collective effort to remember the men and women of 9/11 a local friend organized a community event to encourage us to take a name to honor each of those who lost their lives that day. Our family received Lt. Vincent's name and will be performing an act of service in our community to honor and remember him. I was truly touched reading about his love for his family and children. As part of our service, we will donate or volunteer a service to local organization that offers services to children, perhaps the Children's Museum or the homeless shelter for women and children. God bless your family as we remember these wonderful people and their families.

Happy Birthday Vinny.

Dear Halloran Family,
As always, my thoughts and prayers are with you all today. We will never forget the sacrifice Lt. Halloran made for all of us. Please take good care and God Bless.

Remembering you Vince on this terribly sad day. We will never forget your sacrifice. Marie & the kids are always in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

I forgot to add how grateful I am for his sacrifice...I hope every day brings his family a bit more peace.

I did not know Lt. Vincent or any of the people who lost their lives on 9/11 but I am so thankful for men like him. And I hope his family is doing well.

To the Halloran Family,
Hi. I've been adding entries for the past few years, and Lt. Halloran is always in our family's prayers...I just wanted to wish him a happy belated birthday. Thank-you, Mr. Halloran, for being a special guardian angel up in Heaven to so many people that you don't even know.

I can't believe it's been 13 years. I made a sign that said "9.11 - Never forget" and displayed it on my desk at work. All day I was saying prayers to the Halloran Family. May you find comfort knowing that so many people have Mr. Halloran and your whole family in their thoughts. Please take care.

Remembering you Vince and the sacrifice you made on this difficult anniversary. Keeping Marie and the children in my prayers always.

On September 11th, 2013 I had the distinct Honor and Privilege to ride for Lt. Halloran in the 2 Million Bikers to DC ride. Thank you Mr. Halloran for your service to our nation and Godspeed! You are NOT forgotten!!!

Thinking of you on this very difficult day, and keeping Marie and your family in our hearts & prayers always. We will never forget Vinny.

We recently visited your old firehouse #8. As the anniversay approaches, the memories flood back to that dreadful day. Happy belated birthday Vinny. You, Marie and the entire family are always in my thoughts and prayers.

My name is Nikki. I am researching LT. Vincent Halloran for school and will later visit New York. I am sorry for your loss. I would like to pay my respects to this wonderful hero. He seemed like a loving man.Gone but never forgotten. If you can, please contact me with more information about him. Thank you

I just wanted the family to know that I participated in a HERO RUSH obstacle race last Saturday, April 6, 2013 in honor of this fine firefighter. I have served on the Mabank, Texas volunteer fire dept. for 26 years and was proud to run for Vinny. My name is Mike Rowan and I am 58 years old. GOd bless Vinny.

The first thing I did when I woke up this morning (9.11.2012) was put on my NYC cap - then I've been saying several prayers for Lt. Halloran and his family. Take good care, and know that you all are in our thoughts today...and every day.

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you, Marie, your boys and little girl. I have your mass card on my desk, and will place one on the bulletin board at the Dock in Montauk when outthere next weekend. Please continue to watch over us all. May you rest in peace as we approach this anniversary. I will never forget your sacrifice.

I was on a tour to NYC during the summer of 2001. Being a volunteer fireman from Pennsylvania, I happened on the firehouse of Ladder 8. "Vinny" was the only one there at the time. The ladder was out for repairs and Vinny showed us around the firehouse and explained that it was the firehouse used in the Ghostbusters movie. He introduced himself as Lt. Halloran and we have a family by that name in the town where I live. He said no relation. I asked him if they had any souvenirs for sale and he looked around and found a XXL Tee shirt with the Ghostbuster logo on it and FDNY Ladder 8 on the back. He gave it to me gratis. I didn't know until several years later that Lt. Halloran was killed at the Trade Center until I was looking at a list compiled on the internet of the firemen killed. I noticed he was the only one from his station. I treasure that shirt today and wear it often to fire service events. God Bless Vinnie and his wife and family!

I didn't know Lt. Halloran, but some 11 or so years ago I read his obituary in the New York Times. 9/11 had never been so personal for me as a young father with two little boys, as I wept for his family's loss. I started digging around looking for the Hallorans today, and saw my first picture of "Vinny". Quite an infectious smile; you can tell that guy was loved and loved life! I admire the fact that he coached kids' sports, as I'm the dugout coach for my 8-year-old's baseball team. God Bless the Hallorans...every time I think of 9/11, go to the City, or see a fire truck rumble down the street in Nashville, Tennessee where I live, I think of the sacrifice of SO many on 9/11/01 (and every day that a fireman or first responder suits up). Much Love and Gratitude, Cal Turner ([email protected])

Vinny,
I will forever miss you, you were our personal class clown and friend. I last saw you at our 20th reunion at St Kevins elementary school. I will always continue to pray for your family. whenever I think of 9/11 I think of you. May God watch over your family.
Your Friend and fellow classmate always,

I think of you and your family almost everyday. I know that you are watching over all of us. You are our hero always. Rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I see your mother at church often. When I see her I always think of your children growing up without their father. You are a true HERO. Rest in Peace.

After watching the Diane Sawyer special tribute today, I realized we share the same last name. I am touched by Vinny's sacrifice. And I see how precious life is. Freedom is not free.

My heart goes out to you and your family on this 10 year anniversary.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I just watched the video this morning (9.10.) that featured Phelan talking with Diane Sawyer, and I was very moved. Please know that there are millions of Americans like me that have you in our hearts....and always will. Take good care.

Happy Birthday Vinny. God Bless you, Marie and the kids.

I remember Vinny from the Q76 bus going to St.Francis Prep HS and being in "Project UP (Understanding People)" He was always smiing and the nicest of guys. I think of him and his family often and want them to know that my heart is hugging each one dearly. Thank you, dear Vinny, for your bravery and sacrifice. You were an absolute gem.

To the family and friends of Lt. Vincent G. Halloran: I live in a little town in California - thousands of miles from NY and all that happened 9/11/01. After the tragedy my Mom purchased a bracelet with Lt. Halloran's name inscribed on it. My brother is a firefighter and she wanted to pay tribute to someone lost that day that had no hesitation about running into the towers.
Last year my daughter (10 years old at the time) was assigned a project about writing a report on a "Hero". While other kids in her class chose politicians, and sports stars, my daughter chose Lt. Halloran. Her teacher told her this was not going to be an easy report to write, but she stuck to her original idea. We were able to find a lot of information on line and via a reporter than has done stories on Lt. Halloran, his family, friends and his love for children.
My daughter received an A+ for her report and the portrait she drew of Lt. Halloran. I have to say that even though she was just 3 in 2001, it was important for her to read, see and understand what happened that day.
I just wanted you to know that Lt Halloran was a hero to someone he never knew, 3,000 miles away.
My condolence to the family, friends and co-workers...thank you for all that you do.

Just leaned this morning that a Halloran had died that day. My deepest condolences to all the family and friends Vincent left behind.

I went to St. Francis Prep with Vinnie's sister, Pat. I can remember him always being a joker and, once, when I was at their home, he let us use his Beach Boys records. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family today and always.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Vince.

I keep you in my prayers. 48th Ave was a happier place for having had you there.

Dear Halloran family,
I'm making my 9-11 Memorial again with an addition this year. We found a wire creation of the twin towers, and then I have my FDNY firetruck with a big flag sticking out of it. Then I print out photos from the CNN site and Mr. Halloran is the first one I always print out. Then Mr. Tom Burnett. Then I point and click and print. Then I add red / white / blue roses and any other roses we have from the garden. Usually I do this @ work, but I am unemployed again this year as I was on 9-11-01. God Bless you Halloran family and all the families who so suffered their loss on 9-11-01. I still pray for the souls in purgatory who lost their lives on 9-11-01 and whenever I see a 9-11 in print or on the clock I pause for a moment.

Happy belated, Vince.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy 49th-in-Heaven Birthday . . .

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

In remembrance....

You are a true angel. Please watch over us and bless us. Thank You.
