JERSEY BOYS
Clint Eastwood directs his adaptation of the the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys" at the Santa Monica Pier on Wednesday, September 11, 2013. JERSY BOYS is the journey of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time: Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty.

"It's never enough just to "remember" one day a year; but, it's a start. In honor of the 343, all firefighters, career or volunteer, owe it to future generations to take a few moments today to recommit to the most honorable of our profession's values: service before self," Chief Ferguson.
