Honoring the 10 Yr Mark of 9/11 | What You Can Do

The 9/11 WALL was put up on the 9/11 Patch Project website over 2 months ago. This was done for those who asked how they could publicly support our fund raising efforts with the 10 Yr 9/11 Manhattan to Manhattan Tour and to be counted among the nation's supporters.

The 9/11 Bus could not visit every City on it's 9 month 30-State journey, so this also gives those who were not able to visit with the bus, the opportunity to make a smaller donation, and be seen [counted] as a supporter on the website. We have also decided to make the 9/11 WALL part of the 10 Yr 9/11 Manhattan to Manhattan Tour memory album that will be presented to the FDNY. So make your donation today HERE and we'll place you on the 9/11 WALL of supporters within 12 hours.

World Police Fire Games 2011 Offers 10 Yr 9/11 Anniversary Patch

Scott Safety, one of the two sponsors of the 2011 World Police Fire Games, will be offering the 9/11 Patch Project's 10 Year 3-Hero's 9/11 Patch, during the August 26th-September 5th games.

The 100% embroidered patch measures 2 1/2" X 3 5/8" and was designed by the 9/11 Patch Project to honor the fallen Police, Fire, EMS and U.S. Military as a result of September 11, 2001. The gold circled "10" on the patch represents the 10 Yr mark of this tragic event in history.

The matching car decal for this patch, along with other 10 Yr 9/11 Anniversary items, can also be purchased directly from the 9/11 Patch Project website. 100% of the net proceeds of the patches will be donated, both at the 2011WPFG by Scott Safety and from the 9/11 Patch Project online store sales.

The other 10 Yr 9/11 Patch features a single firefighter holding an axe--rising over the Twin Towers. This patch will be worn by the FDNY Fire & Ice Hockey Team during the games with the "3-Heroes" version worn by all 56 members of the Melbourne Australia Team.

It is important to note that the Melbourne Australia team donated $550 dollars to the 9/11 Patch Project Fund to have the 10 Yr 3-Heroes 9/11 design directly embroidered on each of the 56 members' team jerseys.

Nearly 5000 of the 10 Yr 3-Heroes 9/11 patches will be available for purchase at the 2011WPFG games.

Wear the 9/11 Patch for this up coming 10 Year 9/11 Anniversary

For nearly 9 years, the Marion Fire Department personnel in Illinois have been wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Pictured to the left is a Marion Firefighter wearing the Original 9/11 Patch.

This organization, along with thousands of others across the U.S., made a decision to honor the memory of their lost FDNY brothers by adding the 9/11 Tribute Patch to their uniforms. Some participated in the project by purchasing their patches years ago--while others, are still learning about the project and coming on board nearly 10-years later.

The 9/11 Patch Project's 10-Yr 9/11 Manhattan to Manhattan Tour is now in Illinois and will be visiting the following organizations:

• June 9: Bloomington Firefighters, IL
• June 10: Decatur Firefighters, IL
• June 13: Springfield Firefighters, IL
• June 14: Peoria Firefighters, IL

• June 18: Village of Manhattan Police & Firefighters, IL
• June 23: Davenport Firefighters, IA
