Attending Memorial Weekend

For New Families

This special weekend will honor the service and sacrifice of your loved one and the other firefighters being honored this year.

The National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend is different than other memorial services you have attended. You will have opportunities to meet other families of fallen firefighters from across the country so that you can share experiences, make lasting friendships, and begin to look ahead.

Before attending I was apprehensive. After I got there everyone was just so kind and helpful. I felt like I was in a great big hug the whole time.
