I can say I have truly been lucky, in my almost 20 yrs in the volunteer fire service I have never had to wonder about the proper usage of the badge mourning band. My luck however ran out on Monday when a Lieutenant I served with on a neighboring dept. back in the 80's died of a heart attack while driving his car.
I am attending the wake on Thursday and I am wondering if the band should be worn then or just for the funeral? I will be wearing my class A (minus the jacket, which I don't have) Any thoughts are appreciated.
