I know of and have collected several masonic fire patches off of e-bay over the last couple of years. But these patches are not sacred the can be bought by anyone and anytime, and most I would imagine are not brothers but purely collectors and fire buff's theres not anything wrong with that per se but over the last 34 years I have worked hard at training to be a good firefighter and leader as well as a good mason, Im Proud of Both, remember when you finished the fire academy and graduated remember when you were and entered apprentice learning and finally being raised to a Master Mason, I do and I would not changr those life experiences for anything. I pupose that all brothers think about this and remember we have earned the right to wear or own a Masonic Brotherhood Firefighters Patch which not all men can say they have.
Brother Bob, I have asked around my lodge and it seems that I am the only firefighter there. I will try to get around to some other lodges in near future. Brother Peter might want a masonic/EMT patch since he beat the dreaded NR exam.
I would appreciate that Loo, Yeah Bro. Peter was pretty rattled about that NR exam. I told him not to sweat it and just relax have cold one or 6 and basically don't beat himself up over it and just remember the correct ans. is always A.B.C. ( ambulance before cops ) and he'd be fine. Hey you know what He's not been on here since the test ya think he fell in love with the bone box?
my Lodge has two firefighters that I know would like a patch and a thought for a past Masters patch for those that can have one and officers on their way
Loo, Yes I do have one on my drawing table as we speak a design which embodies all members of the craft. It still needs a little tweaking but as soon as I feel its right I will post it for all to see. Hey, contact me at my e-mail address and I will talk to you more on this.
Brandon, Your idea has merit but I would like to see how this general type patch for the craft flys first. I need as I said a minimum of 250 patches to order ,even to make it worthwhile cost wise for the brothers, anything less than a min. 250 order falls under one's and two's and thats expensive. Also if you are not aware this is not only about a patch but I would like to give all procedes to The Shriners Hospital For Children. Thank the good lord I have never needed their services and my children have all been healthy, But I have seen those children that are loved and cared for at Shriners and yes they need not only our help but everyone's to operate and continue that high level of of love and care for those children they serve daily.
Sorry, I thought everyone had it, all my kids friends use it to contact them all of the time, L.O.L. mine is rcb3181@yahoo. com just so you have it. I will e-mail you later as I have one last day of helping my neighbor with the loss of their son- in law. He's being buried today.
Hey all,
Just checking on the progess of the patch. Is there a design yet? How much would it cost for 250 patches? Just a thought but if we had a design it couold be made into a helmet decal as well.
Thanks and be safe.
