911 Commemorative Chin Strap

Preparing to Honor, Celebrate and Remember 9-11
Starts at the Top

The Washington Fire Chiefs has chosen to help the Lighthouse Uniform Company make available the 9-11 Commemorative Chin Strap TM to the Fire Departments in our state.

 

The 9-11 Commemorative Chin Strap TM provides a meaningful, tangible, inclusive and affordable way for departments to honor those involved in the tragedy of 9-11.

 

It also provides a visual and permanent reminder to the next generation of Firefighters and their children that something very momentous took place and if we don't remain vigil, it will happen again.

 

The National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, September 11th Fund is the beneficiary agency. The 9-11 Commemorative Chin Strap TM is not available on the open market. You can access the program by going to http://www.lighthouseuniform.com/commemorative
