Just curious what everybody thinks about this. one of the younger members of the dept I am on, his father unexpectentally passed last night. We are a combination dept (Full time and Part Time/Paid), and him and I are both part time/paid. There is a small group of us that are very close, and last night, after we left the hospital, the discussion came up about wearing our "Class As" to the funeral. The one friend, who is Sergent, said that wearing our Class As would be appropriate to show support to our brother who is in mourning. I had the thought that usually when people are in uniform, it tends to distract from the reason for being there. The Sergent said that he would check with our Captain (right now we don't have an acting Chief), but he didn't see an issue with it.
