Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day

“The Hill of Remembrance” and the "Walk of Heroes"

​

For the past 14 years, the Police Hall of Fame has utilized a beautiful visual image to aid in remembering fallen heroes. This image came to be called “The Hill of Remembrance”. Each year flags are posted on the hillside out front of the Hall of Fame in honor of each fallen officer honored by the American Police Hall of Fame & Museum. This past May, during Police Week, 11,600 flags were posted.

 

Plans for the 2025 Memorial are already in the early stages.

2024 Memorial Service

​

The Friday night memorial service included over 500 family survivors, law enforcement officers and civilians who had the opportunity to tour the facility before attending the ceremony honoring fallen heroes.

The celebration of courage and sacrifice included multiple agency honor guard units, the Brevard Police & Fire Pipe and Drums Band, a roll call of those lost in the line of duty in 2023, a 21-gun salute, and stirring music.

Family Activity Saturday

​

The annual family event was held at the Warbird Air Museum in Titusville. The afternoon included a fabulous USO show as we gathered in a hangar surrounded by planes. Besides the great food and show, there was plenty of opportunity to explore the many vintage aircraft and Memorabilia Hall which includes flight gear, dress uniforms, weapons, and artifacts. Family members also got to share with other survivor families, providing the opportunity to build relationships that will last a lifetime.
