You Have to Be Kidding Me!

The hands down winner of the "You Have to Be Kidding Me" award goes to Paul Palombi and Trenton FMBA Locals 6 & 206, Hamilton FMBA Locals 84 & 284. The efforts of these departments, organized by Paul Palombi and James D'Errico has been just amazing!

The goal of these locals was to see that every soldier in the New Jersey Army National Guard unit based at Fort Dix, and being deployed in June, would leave with a New Jersey FMBA T-shirt. That is over 3,000 shirts that needed to be funded!



The effort went far beyond that objective. The firefighters sent over 3,200 T-shirts to the 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from New Jersey.


If that wasn't already enough to stand up and cheer, the firefighters also sent 100 T-shirts to the Air National Guard, Special Op's Flight Unit, 227 SOF, out of McGuire Air Force Base.
