READING — In honor of Veterans Day, Reading Police will once again wear special patches throughout November to show support for those who have served in the military.
Reading Police will wear commemorative patches in support of Home Base, an organization dedicated to helping veterans and their families. Officers who are veterans will wear patches for the military branch they served in, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force.
Dispatchers and other civilian department members will be wearing special T-shirts in support of the fundraiser.
This annual tradition lets officers show support for veterans and the sacrifices they have made for our country.
The department will also sell veteran patches for $10. Those who wish to obtain a patch can either send proof of donation through the Reading Police Department page on Home Base’s website or a check made out to Home Base with a self-addressed envelope to the Reading Police Department, 15 Union St., Reading, MA 01867, to the attention of Community Service Officer DaLonn Pearson. Officer Pearson will mail the patch or patches back to those who request them.
