Honoring and Remembering Fallen Firefighters

By: Michael S. Hildebrand

President, Yvorra leadership Development Foundation

Introduction

This paper provides suggestions on how friends and family members can remember a Fallen Firefighter with dignity. We will provide several examples of ideas that can be implemented in under a year and can be accomplished with a small group of motivated people. We also explain how to establish nonprofit, tax exempt corporations or foundations to support more long-term projects like annual scholarship programs. At the end of the chapter we provide two successful case studies of existing scholarship programs created to honor fallen firefighters.
