Hamilton & Trenton FMBA - Just Unbelievable!

Trenton Locals 6 & 206, Hamilton Locals 84 & 284 FMBA have combined forces and the results are just unbelievable!

Paul Palombi told us at T-shirts for Troops that the Locals had sold over 500 shirts in the first week and another 125 to date. The Locals realized they had the support of the community and have just order 500 more t-shirts! That would be a sale of 1175 t-shirts!!!! That is just amazing.





The T-shirts are going to the 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The combat team, a New Jersey Army National Guard unit based at Fort Dix, is scheduled to deploy more than 3,000 members in June for arrival in Iraq in September. The FMBA Locals of Trenton and Hamilton want to be sure each solider will have an FBMA t-shirt packed in their bags.

The Trenton Times recently did a wonderful story about the great efforts shown by these FMBA members!

The shirts can be purchased from any career firefighter in Hamilton, or by seeing the career staff at Hamilton's Station 18 (Colonial Fire Co), or by calling them at 609.586.5454. In Trenton you can call city firefighter Ron Hubscher at 609.575.8138 or Paul Palombi at 609.209.1988.

We will keep you updated on this amazing effort when communities work together to support the Troops from New Jersey.
