10 Yr 9/11 Original Firefighter Pin

A new item has been added to the 9/11 Patch Project online store. The pin pictured on the left, is a replica of the 10 Yr Original Patch and measures 1" X 1 1/4". 

These pins are made with a high end production process called Semi Cloisonné and not the photo etched or soft enamel pin that many offer out there. This is a very high quality and durable pin.

For those who are having a hard time getting the patch approved for your on duty uniform, this pin is a great alternative! With the 10 Year Anniversary of 9/11 only months away, now is a great time to get yours!

We will also be adding dog tags and key chains with this same design. Here is a sneak peek at the items:

Also, for those who have asked about T-Shirts, Hoodies, Mugs, Mouse Pads and other items, we have opened a store with Zazzle so that we can now supply them. Click the picture below to go to the store:

LA County FD Station 8 Chooses the 9/11 Apparatus Decal

Captain Eric Kuck, a former New Yorker, contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if we were going to make a larger image of the 9/11 Patch decal for apparatus. 

It just so happened that the company that wrapped the FireCareers.com bus for the 9/11 Anniversary Manhattan to Manhattan Tour, had the image as it was used to cover the front of the bus prior to the tour. The company stepped up and created this commercial grade decal for us in the 8.5" X 11" size. Once these were ready to go, I contacted Eric and we met at his station today. The decal was first put on their Squad on the driver side and there are plans to place the decals on all apparatus--including a right sided version which insures the stars of the flag are leading and the strips trailing.

It always takes at least one individual to lead the charge to get this done--especially in such a large department--so thank you Captain Kuck!

The decals along with other patches, decals and full size flags are available here: 9/11 Patches-Decals

10 Yr 9/11 Anniversary Manhattan to Manhattan Tour

At noon on January 25th, 2011, the creators of the 9/11 Rose Float, recently featured in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, passed the “WE WILL NEVER FORGET” torch to the FireCareers.com-9/11 Patch Project bus. Following a brief ceremony, the bus embarked on a 9 month U.S. tour to spread awareness of the 10 Year Anniversary of 9/11, recruit organizations to wear the 10 Yr 9/11 Patches and raise funds through the sale of 9/11 Patch Project merchandise. The net proceeds gathered from the sale of the special merchandise will be donated in Manhattan, on September 11th, 2011, to the FDNY Bravest Scholarship Fund, Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund and the Feal Good Foundation.

From Manhattan on the West Coast to Manhattan on the East Coast, the bus will make hundreds of stops along the way at fire departments, conventions and other special events to sell the 10 Year 9/11 Anniversary items. In addition to selling patches, decals and flags to raise funds, pictures will be taken at the various tour stops with hosting personnel and community supporters. Albums with pictures from all the stops will be prepared in an album that will be presented in Manhattan to the organizations listed above.

Contact FireCareers.com to have them make a stop at your department or event by using this email: craig@firecareers.com. You can purchase merchandise from the bus, ask them for an order form and flier or get them online now at this LINK. Your organization can also get your name on the bus through a sponsorship available at this LINK.

We will be adding items over the coming months so stay tuned to the site or newsletters. If you are not on the newsletter distribution, please go to the HOME PAGE and sign up so you are not left out on updates!

This 10 Year 9/11 Anniversary plan follows the successful 9-year run of the 9/11 Patch Project where over 6000 organizations in 22 countries have come forward to wear the patches or display the decals. 10’s of thousands of dollars have been raised and donated to 10 non-profit organizations.

The 9/11 Rose Float is entered into this coming Pasadena Tournament of Roses by L.A. County Firefighter Jerry Thomsen and is sponsored by the L.A. County Fireman's Health & Benefits Association.

The float will feature both of the 9/11 Patch Project's 10 Year 9/11 Anniversary Patches and is the first 9/11 Themed Float to ever be entered into the Rose Parade.

This 9/11 Tribute Float will mark the 1st day of the 10 Year Anniversary of 9/11 and pay tribute to all who were lost on that day. Family members of those who perished will also be riding on the float.

As this float ushers in the 10 Year Anniversary of 9/11 it is also the 9/11 Patch Projects goal to get these 10 Year tribute patches on all Fire, EMT, Police and Military uniforms throughout 2011.

Funds raised from the sale of patches will benefit the FDNY Bravest Scholarship Fund and the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund.

Release of new full size 9/11 Flag

The 9/11 Patch Project has just released this full size flag (3 foot by 5 foot) that bears the image of the 9/11 Patch worn by over 5000 organizations in 22 countries.

The flag is a strong polyester material, printed on both sides and screen printed to resist fade.

The flag can be purchased by fire departments and flown on their apparatus or station and purchased by the general population as a flag that can be flown on their homes.

This custom flag will most likely sell for $59.95 each. As is the case with the patches, portions of the proceeds from the sale of the 9/11 Flags will benefit the FDNY's Bravest Scholarship Fund and the Terry Farrell Firefighter Fund.

Please watch our order page as the flag will be up on the website very soon. Here is the link to the order page: 9/11 Patch Project ORDER
