Adding the 9/11 Patch to Your Uniform
Remembering & Honoring our Lost 343 Brothers
Herrin (IL) Firefighter
Since December of 2001, the 9/11 Patch Project has been about getting one of the 9/11 Patches on the uniforms, job-shirts, turnouts or jackets of all Fire Departments across our nation, to honor and remember the heroes of 9/11. Since the project began over 10 years ago, 10,000 organizations in 30 countries have stepped up to show their support.
The project has also been about keeping a promise to NEVER FORGET and about raising funds for 9/11 related organizations such as the NYC Bravest Scholarship Fund, the Terry Farrell Fund and the Feal Good Foundation.
Why add the patches to your uniforms?
1.The patches make a clear statement that your organization recognizes and honors the memory of the lost 343 FDNY Firefighters
2. The patches are the only standard 9/11 Tribute Patches that we can all wear in solidarity--they unite us
3. The patches remind us of what those brave firefighters who came before us sacrificed, to save thousands of lives
4. The patches also remind us of what we signed up for and may be called upon to do during out career
5. The 9/11 Patch Project is supported and endorsed by the FDNY Uniformed Fire Officers Association
It's understood that some uniform standards out there may preclude adding the patch to uniforms. That is why the 9/11 Patch Project is calling for organizations to get the patches on any item of clothing worn on duty such as; job-shirts, turnouts or jackets.
