A T-Shirts for Troops Update


This is a bit of an update on the T-shirts for Troops Program. This includes only the T-shirts sent by the program---not by the individual Fire Departments. To see an update on individual Fire Departments scroll down the page.

So far.......

1000 T-shirts were sent to the Vipers 519th Unit in Iraq
500 T-shirts were sent to the 1st Cavalry Division Iraq
500 T-shirts were sent to the 10th Mountain Division in Iraq
500 T-shirts were sent to the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan

In the works at the printer.......

200 T-shirts will be sent to Naval Seabees
200 T-shirts for the 509th Geronimo's in Iraq
&
400 T-shirts, Purple Hearts, for wounded soldiers who are currently staying at Fisher House while in rehabilitation.

All funds raised by T-shirt sales was recycled into buying and sending more T-shirts to the Troops.

Only one T-shirt was given away and that went to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and that was done under duress!

Keep up the good work. It is times like this that our soldiers need to know that New Jersey Firefighters are supporting them!
