Hey! What's the story behind the Fighting Squirrel mascot with the Chain Gun?
The mascot of the First Florida Chapter is the FIghting Florida Squirrel. You will notice he is well-prepared to protect that which is his.
The “Squirrel” design we use as our unofficial mascot and logo was created for FFC-MVPA by Mr. F. Hanley. Aside from being a charter member of the legendary Lockheed Martin “Skunk Works” which was the home of the wizards that created some of the most iconic and aircraft in the USAF arsenal (the SR-71 Blackbird, the Stealth Bomber and FIghter), Mr. Hanley was a key creator of the Gatlin-type ‘chain gun’ held by our Fighting Squirrel.
We offer 5″ all-weather and durable “Fighting Squirrel” decals in our FFC-MVPA Online Store.
So get one or two or three while supplies last and display some truly historic and humorous artwork to show your support of the FFC-MVPA!
