It was fairly difficult for me to machine sew all of the patches he had collected but he was beside himself when we presented it to him in a ceremony on the 1 yr anniversary of 911. It is hung in the fireman's union hall in town. The fire captain felt it was too important to keep to himself and wanted to share it with others.
