Republished below is a newsletter that went out to all county Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS regarding the White Dove Release by A Touch Above for a 9/11 event.
***********************************************
At 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2013, Frank Fanni of "A Touch Above," who specializes in white dove releases for weddings, funerals, and special outdoor occasions, will be releasing 50 white doves at the Polk County Sheriff's Office Sheriff's Operations Center, located at 1891 Jim Keene Blvd in Winter Haven, in honor of the first responders who perished during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Frank has invited first responders, including Law Enforcement Officers, Fire, and EMS, from across the county to the event. The public and media are also invited and encouraged to attend.
"Frank and his beautiful white doves are very special to us. He has helped our grieving PCSO family members time and again at funerals we have held for our agency members who paid the ultimate sacrifice. We are honored that Frank chose to commemorate the fallen heroes of 9/11 at our Operations Center on this day. We hope to see you here during this special event." - Sheriff Grady Judd

White Dove Christmas
Fredericksburg.com - A TIMELY SIGN FROM ABOVE? - page 1 FLS
A member of the WDRP recently had one of his white release doves take a trip far from home. Evidently the white homing pigeon accidentally escaped from it's loft, and was heading back to the loft it formerly lived in. Many miles from where it started, the pure white pigeon landed in a yard on Christmas day to rest. The family who found the bird was able to contact the owner because the bird was wearing a permanent identification band. These bands are used by white dove release professionals and by pigeon racers to aid in the recovery of lost or injured birds. The bands are marked so that anyone who happens to find a banded pigeon can contact the owner of the bird without too much difficulty. The owner can then make arrangements to pick up their bird. The family felt a special blessing came to them when the little white dove chose to rest at their house on Christmas day.
