The Walk of Honor®
The park also features a brick Walk of Honor® that connects the monument, the historic Fallen Firefighters Memorial Chapel, and memorial plazas. Each brick on the walkway bears a personal inscription. Proceeds from the sale of these bricks help to finance construction of the Park. The Walk of Honor® continues to expand and now contains more than 8,500 inscribed bricks. Numbered sections help donors and recipients locate their special bricks. If you donated a brick between July 1997 and June 2009, you can find its location online. Contact the Foundation at firehero@firehero.org to inquire about the location of bricks placed after June 2009. A section in the crosswalk recognizes the Foundation's major donors. This special section contains bricks honoring more than 350 corporations, organizations, and individuals for their support. These sponsors help ensure that our fallen heroes and their families will always be remembered! To speed up placement of donated bricks, the Foundation has laid brick pavers that will be replaced with inscribed bricks twice a year; in the late spring and in the late summer. Inscribed bricks currently account for a quarter of the total walkway, with space available for over 13,000 more inscribed bricks. |
