    9/11 Patch Project

    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.

    New York City Fire Museum September 11 Memorial Service – We Will Never Forget

    The New York City Fire Museum will mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center with a memorial service commemorating the 343 firefighters who made the Supreme Sacrifice that day. The service will feature a wreath laying ceremony in the Museum's 9/11 room and include a bagpiper from the FDNY Emerald Society, FDNY Color Guard, Firefighter Regina Wilson singing the National Anthem, and comments from FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cassano. The memorial service is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m.  Invited to the ceremony are the Australian Firefighters in Tour of Duty, a group who has run cross-country from San Diego, arriving in New York on September 11th and Canadian Firefighters who are visiting the City on that day.

     The New York City Fire Museum, the official museum of the FDNY, occupies a renovated 1904 Beaux-Arts firehouse at 278 Spring Street in SoHo and houses New York City's renowned collection of fire-related art and artifacts from the 18th century to the present. Hand-pumped fire engines, horse-drawn vehicles and early motorized apparatus as well as painted leather buckets, helmets, belts, lanterns, and tools depict the romantic lore and traditions of firefighting.

     In addition, the New York City Fire Museum contains the first permanent memorial to the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Housed in two adjoining rooms, this solemn sky-lit tribute to the heroes of 9/11 includes a black marble and tile memorial with pictures of the firefighters lost in the attacks; cases displaying tools used and items recovered from the Ground Zero recovery effort; a video and interactive computer station where visitors can digitally browse profiles and photographs of the fallen, newspaper coverage of the attacks and images of nationwide tributes to the FDNY; and a wall-size timeline chronicling that day's tragic events.
