Which commemorative pins are authorized on Class B and C uniforms?

The authorized commemorative pins on Class B and C uniforms include the 9/11 and 35W pins, signifying the importance of remembering significant events in the history of firefighting and public safety. These pins serve to honor the memory of those who were lost and recognize the ongoing commitment to public service during critical times.

In the context of uniform standards and department protocol, such commemorative items often reflect the values and history of the department, establishing a connection with the community and fostering a sense of pride among personnel. This practice ensures that those wearing the uniforms carry a message of remembrance and respect for pivotal moments that have shaped the field.

Other types of pins, while potentially meaningful and representing various achievements or events, may not have the same level of official recognition for wear on Class B and C uniforms as the 9/11 and 35W pins. This distinction is crucial in maintaining uniformity and purpose in commemorating significant events that have impacted both first responders and the communities they serve.
