Honoring Our Heroes
For each of the last 27 years, John Morroni’s First Responder Appreciation Dinner recognized extraordinary service in the line of duty among Pinellas County’s Bravest and Finest.
Here’s a proud Honor Roll of our Distinguished Honorees over the years.
“The real heroes out there are those who risk their lives each and every day to protect us and make the world a better place.”
