Dr. Peter Berger and Hudson Pro Orthopaedics Supports “The Expedition to Honor the Fallen”

Hoboken, NJ — July 12th, 2023 — Dr. Peter Berger of Hudson Pro Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine will participate in "The Expedition To Honor Our Fallen" this September. Each year, Operation Deep Blue plans the event which takes place over a period of 8 days.

Operation Deep Blue is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to increase awareness of law enforcement officers, first responders and military service members who died in the line of duty. The organization also raises funds to provide relief to their surviving family members.

“It’s a great organization and they do a lot of good for a lot for the families of these guys who put their life on the line. I’m so glad to be a part of the expedition this year,” says Dr. Berger.

All participants select a first responder or military member who has passed to honor. Dr. Berger has chosen to honor Paterson Police Detective Anthony Lucanto, who died as the result of cancer that he developed following his assignment to the search and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site following the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.

Detective Lucanto had served with the Paterson Police Department for 24 years. He is survived by his wife, three children, and mother. All funds raised by Dr. Berger and Hudson Pro Orthopaedics will go to Operation Deep Blue to support families like Detective Lucanto.
