A Worthwhile Endeavor

HT to Chuckman over at Chesterfire.com (The Chester County, PA FF forum):

If you and/or your FD can spare some new (unused) FD T-shirts of varied sizes, please join in on the firefighters 'THE SHIRTS OFF OUR BACKS" plan to provide as many FD T-shirts from the USA, Canada and from all over the world so they can see some immediate relief...and KNOW how much FIREFIGHTERS take care of FIREFIGHTERS. Everytime they wear one of your T-shirts...they will know. Send your T-shirt(s) as soon as possible to:

FIRE SHIRTS OFF OUR BACKS
c/o Bladensburg Fire Rescue Co. 9
4213 Edmonston Road
Bladensburg, Maryland 20710

Not only will these shirts be delivered quickly by firefighters for firefighters and be a welcome comfort-but they will provide those firefighters with HOPE...something that is extremely critical for their survival right now. They will know first hand how much your FD and your FIREFIGHTERS really care. Small gesture-BIG payoff.

THIS ISN'T A SELF-SERVING GESTURE FOR US IN THE FIRE AND EMS SERVICES. REMEMBER, FIREFIGHTERS IN NOLA ALSO LOST THEIR HOMES AND POSSESSIONS!
