Volunteers Serving Springfield Township
Flourtown Fire Company joined with Oreland Fire Company and Wyndmoor Hose Company to march in the Annual Arthur V. Savage Post 100 Memorial Day Parade. Honoring those who lost their lives defending our freedoms.
Congress created the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to lead a nationwide effort to honor America’s fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit Foundation has developed and expanded programs that fulfill that mandate. Their mission is to honor and remember America’s fallen fire heroes and to provide resources to assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives.
Each October, the Foundation sponsors the official national tribute to all firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. Thousands attend the weekend activities held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The Weekend features special programs for survivors and coworkers along with moving public ceremonies.
The Memorial Weekend will be held October 1 – 3, 2010.
