National Fallen Firefighters Memorial

The National Fallen Firefighters Memorial is a special place to honor and remember firefighters who have died while doing their important job of protecting people, animals, and buildings from fires. It's like a big park or garden with statues, plaques, and a special wall where people can go to pay tribute or say thank you to these brave men and women who sacrificed their lives to keep others safe. Families and friends of the fallen firefighters come to this special place to remember their loved ones and feel assured that they are not forgotten. Every year, people gather here for a special ceremony to honor the fallen firefighters, and the flags are flown at half-mast to show respect for the sacrifices they made. It's a special place that reminds us all of the courage, bravery, and selflessness of firefighters and the risks they take to keep us safe.
