(Remember Everyone Deployed) program, ZFD sent a superintendency package to U.S. Navy Captain Luke Frost, the brother of ZFD Deputy Chief Josh Frost. In return, Captain Frost sent a flag flown on the USS America on Sept. 11 withal with an official document of flag presentation signed by Captain Daniel Nowicki.The ship was moored at Naval Base San Diego.“It’s an wondrous gift, but we certainly don’t expect anything in return,” said Firefighter/Paramedic Walter Leverich. “The idea overdue the R.E.D. program is to take superintendency of those deployed so we can show them that we recognize they are there and fathom them.”As part of the R.E.D. program, every Friday firefighters wear red and encourage the public to wear red as a way to show support and appreciation for military members and veterans. Firefighters who wear red have the option to voluntarily donate $2 to be used for supplies for superintendency packages to send to troops.

Leverich, an unwashed veteran who received a R.E.D. superintendency package when he was deployed in Iraq, withal with Lieutenant Steve Hayes, helped spearhead the program within the department.“I am extremely proud of Local 4416 for presenting this program, and the ZFD members that have served or are serving our country,” Chief VanGorder added.The department has used connections in the polity to send packages to relatives of Town of Zionsville employees or relatives of Zionsville residents. With Fire Marshal Frost’s brother stuff a U.S. Navy Captain, ZFD sent a superintendency package directly to the navy last August.ZFD plans to exhibit the flag and document in Town Hall so that the public can view it.“It gives me goosebumps just thinking that this flag was flown over the USS America on Sept. 11,” said Lieutenant Hayes.The R.E.D. program will protract indefinitely with the exception of a hiatus in October, when the firefighters wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. ZFD is currently looking for names of those deployed who have a connection to Zionsville or Boone County.Click Here for Full Press Release ⇐Previous 2019 Rural to Urban Service District transition informationNext⇒ Fall skim and limb hodgepodge scheduled Other News in A TOP NEWS ITEMTrick-or-treat hours in ZionsvillePosted on: October 1, 20182019 Rural to Urban Service District transition informationPosted on: September 26, 2018Fall skim and limb hodgepodge scheduledPosted on: September 12, 2018Explore Zionsville parks with Tails on the TrailsPosted on: August 28, 2018Candidate Election Signs RegulationsPosted on: August 21, 2018MetroNet coming to Zionsville this summerPosted on: August 20, 2018Town awards two local organizations grant moneyPosted on: August 16, 2018Schedule changes spoken in Zionsville Road reconstruction projectPosted on: July 23, 2018 Live EditClose Popular Links Archive Center Economic Development Utilities and Billing Contact Us Chamber of Commerce Agendas & Minutes Receive Alerts Employment Opportunities Town E-newsletter Online Payments Contact Us 1100 W Oak Street Zionsville, IN 46077 Phone: 317-873-5410 Fax: 317-873-8021 Helpful Links Boone County, Indiana Boone County Convention & Visitors Bureau Employment Opportunities Staff Directory View All /QuickLinks.aspx FAQ How do I sign up for text notifications?
