Sounds like a good idea to me!

That's a good idea I thought of too. If they sell them, they will make money for the victims, and that's a cinch, especially if the beneficiaries are a trusted and legit outfit, not some bunch of jerks with a political agenda like The "United (militant homosexual agenda) Way".

There was a fire department in NY that already started a bracelet program. I'm not sure if it was only firemen or not.
To: William_Rusher
Just another idea. After leaving the military, I carry my dog tags on my keyring. Maybe if someone couldn't afford $5.00 for the bracelet, they could afford a military type id tag (they're dirt cheap). Soldiers and other military people might be interested in the id tags because there would be little conflict with military dress code. It could be an inexpensive option sold alongside the bracelets for people to show solidarity and support for the victims and sort of a symbolic connection to the military who are now marching off to find justice for the victims.

I did the basic manufacturing for quite a few thousand of these bracelets in the '70's. (All less engraving) I did the cutting and finishing, and supplied the form fixtures for forming after engraving.

I read that there is a fireman in California who already started selling them to support his brethren in NY. I think he was based in San Diego.

What about a separate fund for the families of the hero's of flight 93? At least 3 Patriot Hero's of flight 93, actively participated in preventing that flight from attacking Washington DC. At the ATF meeting (Culver City, California) last night, we donated around $700 to send to the families of the hero's of Flight 93. I believe that memorial bracelets commemorating the hero's of flight 93 would be "hot sellers".
Congress should award medals to the passengers and crew of flight 93. Since we may never know how many of them actually helped in preventing the attack, they should all get medals IMHO. T

I like the idea. The phrase should be something simple, like "Let freedom ring" or "Justice for all" .... actually, I kind of like immortalizing "Let's roll." But years from now, that'll seem odd.

Another idea would be to sell FDNY hats like the one the Mayor is wearing. Each hat would have a badge number of a lost fireman embroidered on the back of it. All procedes go to the families of lost firemen. The same could be done with the NYPD hats.

Great Idea! We must work to obtain the OFFICIAL LIST of missing or deceased. Should we ask the victims families for permission to include their family members in our tribute?
