Services Personnel Attending the Service...

Mourning
bands placed around your badge would be very appropriate.
These are available commercially by Gall's and other suppliers (many
ship these overnight for free.)
You
can make your own mourning band just like the commercial ones by
purchasing elastic band material at Wal-mart, fabric or hobby stores,
cutting to length, making a loop, and either sewing it or stapling it
with an office stapler to make a band. We've found that stapling
at a diagonal twice to make an "X" works well.
A
quick and easy mourning band may also be made by placing a band of black
electrical tape around the badge. Press it down lightly over the
seals and around the edges and it comes off without taking the paint off
in the letters.
Arm
Bands will not be worn by Moorhead Fire Personnel and are not
planned for the service.
Ushers
will be available at the church in full Class A Uniforms (Dress jackets,
ties, hats) to answer any questions you may have and tend to your needs.
They will also have materials available to place a temporary mourning
band on your badge if you've forgotten.
The
family has requested that Fire Department uniforms be worn if
available.
In
memory of Marty, the family is putting together a collage. A
donation of your Department patch would be greatly appreciated.
