The National 9/11 Flag
NH, RI, and VT
Destroyed in the aftermath of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and stitched back together seven years later by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, The National 9/11 Flag is a living testament to the resilience and compassion of the American people. It is the modern day version of The Star Spangled Banner. The New York Says Thank You Foundation is currently taking The National 9/11 Flag on a journey across America where local service heroes in all 50 states will be given the historic privilege of stitching the flag back to its original 13-stripe format using pieces of fabric from American flags destined for retirement in each state. Once the flag is restored and made whole again by the 10th Year Anniversary of 9/11, The National 9/11 Flag will become a part of the permanent collection of the National September 11 Memorial Museum being built at the World Trade Center.

Congratulations, Lt. Lynne Doucette!
Fellow IAWP member, Lynne Doucettte, was recently promoted to lieutenant in the Brunswick Police Department, Maine. She becomes the first female to hold that position in the Department.
Read the complete article from Times Record below:
BRUNSWICK — Ask Lynne Doucette about being a woman in law enforcement — the first female lieutenant at the Brunswick Police Department, in fact — and she shrugs.
At least for Doucette, 40, “It’s not about gender. A lot of it has to do with how you carry yourself, and with how well you know your job.”
On Sunday, after more than 13 years in law enforcement, Patrol Sgt. Doucette becomes Lt. Doucette.
She said she’s honored by the promotion, and hopes to one day continue up the ladder, despite working in a field that is still dominated largely by men.
Nevertheless, Doucette is confident she’s been “accepted as ‘one of the guys,’” she said Monday.
One of only three women on the Brunswick force, Doucette said most of her fellow officers really don’t see gender as an issue.
“All they really want is somebody who can do the job and do it well,” she said. “You have to prove yourself, but I don’t think that’s gender … once you go to a scene and they realize you’re capable of handling yourself, you get accepted.”

'Expedition Impossible' - New ABC Show with a Team of MA Police Officers
 |
| THE COPS |
Burnett is the man behind a new summer reality show for ABC dubbed Expedition Impossible, which features 13 teams of three players who will travel across deserts, mountains and rivers in the Kingdom of Morocco. Each week a new stage of the expedition will be revealed to the competitors, who must find a way to work together to complete the trip. After 10 legs of competition, one team will cross the finish line. Winners each receive $50,000 and a Ford Explorer.
Of the 13 teams, one includes three police officers from Massachusetts and another includes three fishermen from Glousester, MA.

From: Concord, MA
Occupation: Police Lieutenant
Dani Henderson, Age 34
From: Marlborough, MA
Occupation: Police Officer

Robert, Dani and James know that the camaraderie that is shared between police officers is hard to replicate anywhere else in life. The level of trust that is necessary to work together is amplified when you are putting your life in someone else's hands—which is something these three Massachusetts officers do every day. We're pretty sure their survival skills on the streets will be put to the ultimate test during their Moroccan expedition.
