"Honoring those who gave their lives serving our communities."



Supported by the City of San Antonio, the Departments & survivors.
See "Letters of Support"

24 firefighters and 80 law enforcement officers from 18 departments
have given their lives for Bexar County citizens and businesses.

 Please help us build a memorial in downtown San Antonio to honor them and all others in the future. 
We need Bexar County residents and businesses to join us in order to make this happen.

 All donations are appreciated.  Donations of $100 or more are listed on this web site.
If you donate some now and some later, we will add them together and give you credit for the total.

  This will be a "living" memorial as new names will be added in the future. 
Your contribution today is expected to be maintained on this web site in the future.

    We are 501(c)(3) non-profit and strictly volunteers.

Please let us know if you have a picture or information that
should be included in this web site for these firefighters and officers.

 You may read the write-up on these firefighters and officers who made the supreme
sacrifice for us by going to "Honorees" on the left and selecting "by Department" or by selecting "by End of Watch."
