| - National Fallen Firefighters Memorial je památník, který je postaven na počest hasičů (dobrovolných i kariérních), kteří zemřeli při plnění svých služebních povinností. Památník byl uzákoněn americkým kongresem roku 1990. Byl postaven v roce 1981 v areálu National Fire Academy v Emmitsburgu v Marylandu. Náměstí s pomníkem obklopují plakety se jmény padlých hasičů. Každoročně, o první neděli v říjnu, se v areálu koná vzpomínková slavnost uctívající padlé hasiče. K pomníku se pokládá věnec darovaný americkým prezidentem a na Zeď cti se přidávají plakety se jmény požárníků, kteří padli v předchozím roce. Večer před slavností se koná vigílie při svíčkách. (cs)

The flags over the Memorial are flown at half-staff in honor of the fallen firefighter. If some criteria are met, the fallen firefighter is honored at the annual memorial service. The Memorial is open to the public throughout the year. On October 16, 2001, President George W. Bush approved legislation requiring the United States flag to be lowered to half-staff on all federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters. Public Law 107-51 requires this action to occur annually in conjunction with observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service. The date of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service is traditionally the first Sunday in October. A candlelight vigil service is held the night before the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service. Both services are held at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. These services memorialize Fallen Firefighters from around the nation.In 2020, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Foundation held a virtual ceremony to remember Fallen firefighters. (en)
