From Gulio:

Members wishing to attend who are wearing Class A uniforms are requested to be at the Church no later than 8:45 AM – this is when the fire company is expected to arrive. Members in Class A will be given the option to assist with a unique honor guard setup. Members without a Class A are still invited to attend, but will be requested to sit in a pew.

Presidents Message

I wish to personally thank all the Fire Police Officers who participated in the recent Honor Flight detail. I believe over 38 officers from Delaware, Delaware County and Chester County participated. A wonderful showing for our Veterans. Kudos to Guilio Gaspero and Bill Zak for putting this all together. No easy feat! And to Tom Robinson for stepping up when Guilio got sick.

Again, it’s great to see our Association members turning out in large numbers for such an auspicious occasion.
