Memorials

As I travel across this great country, I have, and will, come upon various memorials to firefighters. This page will be a few pictures of these travels. If you know of a site or link, let me know and I will add a comment or link to it. As I headed to South Dakota on the Harley for the Sturgis Rally, I found this Iowa Memorial at Iowa City near my hotel.

The statue in Milwaukee was photographed while attending the Harley Davidson 95th Reunion.

Below is a quote from the
United States Fire Administration official web site:

"Conceived as a tribute to America's fire service, the National Fallen Firefighters' Memorial is one of this country's most beautiful monuments to courage and unselfish service. Constructed in 1981 on the campus of the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland, the Memorial was officially designated by Congress as the national Memorial to career and volunteer fallen firefighters in 1990. It is a symbol of honor for those who carry on the tradition of service to their communities."
