In early 2011, we will broke ground on a new Fallen Firefighter Memorial
located at the Ogden Memorial Gardens in Ogden, Utah. The Memorial is located in Ogden, Utah at 25th
Street and Washington Blvd and will honor
all firefighters who have lost their lives
in the line of duty. The Memorial represents and honors all
Firefighters in the 50 States, including volunteers, full time, union
members, wildland, private brigade, industrial, government, and military
firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty since America
became this great nation.
This Memorial will not take the place of any local, state or national firefighter memorial but
will be in addition to. It will be America's Fallen Firefighter
Memorial located in the Western United States. It also will not take
place nor is affilliated with the National monument in Emmitsburg, Maryland,
nor will it take the place of the great work they do with the National Firefighter Foundation.
The America's Fallen Firefighter Memorial will be an additional firefighter
memorial.
It
will be the largest memorial of its kind in Western North America, to pay
respect to all our fallen brothers and sisters. The monument will be built
with private funds and donations and will be constructed with the finest
black marble and granite and will include several bronze firefighter
statues. Our goal is to have the first phase completed by second quarter 2011.
The Memorial will be open daily to the public with a memorial service of
national proportion being held each year to pay respect and honor our fallen
firefighters. We invite all American's to come out once a year and pay
respect to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
The Brick Fundraising Campaign
is an opportunity to be part of this historic Memorial. The campaign
will be formed to sell 14,000 bricks to pay for the monument. Each
brick will include three lines of personalized engraving. Our wish is
to have every fire department in the country purchase a brick and we also
encourage individuals and other companies to help with this campaign by
purchasing a brick.
A fire ride will be held each year (2nd Saturday in September) for all to come together and honor the
fallen firefighters. This Memorial will be a place for everyone in
this great nation to enjoy for generations to come. Any and all
contributions are greatly appreciated.
