    Hi Brad, sure, I have no problem joining that group. Not a line of duty death, but just received notice of another retirees death here in Manitoba. We have approx 500 retirees at this time, and many are of an advanced age.

    yea I'd be willing to make some sort of trade agreement. I could get you one from the Newberg, OR FD and possibly one from Mapleton, UT FD for 2 of the patches. As I mentioned in my post that I'm more of a shirt collector so I would be willing to trade a shirt from a fire that I was on for a patch. I'm very flexable. If youd be willing to trade a Winnipeg shirt for something let me know. again I'm flexable. However the Mapleton, UT patch would only be available upon confermation of a Winnipeg patch trade.

    those patches went in the mail today. I apologize if they smell like perfume, they were in my moms purse and my baby sister (age 2) was playing around in there and spilt my moms perfume all over the inside. I'm not too sure why or how the patches got in her purse
