The 9/11 Patch Project is about nationally and internationally accepted 9/11 Tribute Patches designed to be a permanent addition to your organizations uniform or casual clothing. It is about sharing common threads and creating unity among all Fire, EMS, Police and U.S.Military & U.S. Allied organizations. The project is also about honoring Firefighters, EMS, Police and Military personnel who gave their lives on 9/11 and those who continue to risk it all daily. The Project patches and decals have become the permanent 9/11 Tribute for over 5000 organizations in 22 countries over the past 7 years. With the 10 Year 9/11 Anniversary upon us, now is a great time for your organization to participate by wearing the 9/11 Tribute Uniform Patch. Two ten year anniversary patches are now available as a tribute designed to be worn for all of 2011--or choose any of the other patches as a permanent uniform tribute.

Dear Fellow Firefighter,

Once again the Oakland MapleviIIe Fire Department is having its annual Firemen's Muster and Parade. This is our 51st continuous year for having this muster.

The event is scheduled for Sunday September 5, 2010 with a rain date of Monday September 6, 2010. The Parade is scheduled to kick off at 10:30 from the Oakland Triangle, which is located at the comer of School St. and Victory Highway. Truck judging and the muster will follow. Some of the categories for the judging will include oldest in service, oldest out of service, newest, and furthest traveled. The Muster will consist of 3 events, a wet, dry and a mystery event. On the muster grounds there will be games, food, soda, beer, and all sorts of raffles, plus there will be a moonwalk for the kids.

If your Department is interested in participating in either the muster or the parade or both, please either contact the station at the above address or phone number, or you can contact me via e-mail at Idunnjr@cox.net. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the muster.
