Tournament of Roses Parade/9-11 Patch Project/FireCareersBus

At noon on January 25^th, the creators of the 9/11 Rose Float, recently featured in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, will pass the “WE WILL NEVER FORGET” torch to the FireCareersBus – which will embark on a 9 month U.S. tour to spread awareness while traveling to the site of the World Trade Centers for the ten year remembrance of September 11, 2011

Manhattan Beach Fire Department, a long time supporter of the 9/11 Patch Project, will host the event in front of their own 9/11 Memorial, which features two 15-foot tall steel beams from the WTC. Acting Chief Shuck, initially purchased the 9/11 Patches for his members who have worn them for nearly a decade. The 9/11 Patches are worn on their uniforms as a sign of unity among all firefighters and to pay tribute to the fellow firefighters lost on that tragic day. Some members of the Manhattan Beach Fire Department responded to Ground Zero in the days that followed 9/11 to lend their support.

From Manhattan on the West Coast to Manhattan on the East Coast, the FireCareersBus  will make hundreds of stops along the way at fire departments, conventions and other special events

The 9/11 Rose Float ushered in Day-1 of the 10 Year Anniversary of 9/11 in its’ historical entry into this past Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. The float represented and honored those who gave their lives nearly 10 years ago on 9/11 from Flight 93, the Pentagon and the World Trade Centers. Also, on the float, were two enlarged versions of the 9/11 Patch Project’s 10 Year 9/11 Anniversary Patches.

We are looking for more people to get involved and sponsor stops.  It’s easy to do send me an email and let me know where you are and I’ll get right back to you.

Come out and join us at the Manhattan Beach Fire Dept. 400 15th Street Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 12 noon for the official send off.  See everyone in Manhattan!
