The National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend will be held October 2 – 4, 2009 more infromation can be found at Firehero.org for information on the memorial weekend being held October 2 - 4, 2009 . Having had the opportunity to attend the academy over the years I have seen the memorial take shape from what it once was. If you ever get out east you should defiantly take the time to visit this memorial. The memorials in Washington are great and well worth seeing, but being firefighter this memorial is very moving and a reminder of our brothers lost.
