Subject: Battle Ribons for 100 year Anniversary .

To all Squadrons in District 8:

At the USPS 2013 Governing Board at Jacksonville last week each District was 
given an Ensign with the new 100 year logo on it to be taken back to the 
home District.  During the year each Squadron is to purchase a "Battle 
Ribbon" to be attached to this new District Flag and then the District Flags 
are to be returned to same meeting next year.

The Battle Ribbons are to be about 2 ft in length, and about 3 inches in 
width, with the District number at the top, Squadron Name in the middle 
(with out the words Sail or Power) and the year of founding at the bottom. 
These ribbons have the flowing options:
Color of Ribbon: Red, White, Blue and Gold.  These colors are the ones 
presently in the National Ensign with the 100 year logo.
Color of Type Face: same as above Red, White, Blue and Gold.
If the Squadron is over 50 years old a gold stripe is available like the 
ones on our Burgees.

I was trying to  put together a wish list for your Squadron and place one 
order with Seaborne Canvas.  This would save you time and some shipping 
cost, which would be shared  by all the  Squadrons.

I understand that Coral Ridge, Hollywood and Palm Beach Squadrons have 
already ordered their Battle Ribbons.

If you want me to place your order, I will call your Commander and get all 
the necessary information for your Ribbon.  If you do not want me to
do this for you please let me know.

The cost of the Battle Ribbon is $20.00 + shipping.

I am sending this email to insure that all Squadrons have their Battle 
Ribbons ready for our April District Conference.     The Conference will 
have a  ceremony focused on the Ribbons.

Sincerely,

Al Furtado
