The United States Law Enforcement Eternal Flame

October 20, 2020

Ground Broken for Eternal Flame, Walk of Heroes

TITUSVILLE – On the heels of financial commitments from the Brevard County Commissioners and two national law enforcement organizations, as well as support from numerous businesses, individuals and television's John Walsh, the American Police Hall of Fame put shovels to dirt Oct. 16 in preparation for "phase one."

"We began developing plans for this monument five years ago," Executive Director Barry Shepherd told the assembled celebrants. "And we are so proud and thrilled to finally be breaking ground on it. It's even more significant that we are doing so the day after celebrating our 60th anniversary. We are starting the next 60 years with great momentum and purpose."

The Flame will pay tribute to law enforcement officers lost in the line of duty as well as to those who patrol the streets of America daily. The Walk of Heroes offers an opportunity for individuals, clubs, businesses etc. to purchase either a 4x8 or an 8x8 brick.

"There is still time to purchase a brick for the first installation. This can be done on a secure site that you can access by going to www.USWalkofHeroes.org or you can download a form and mail in your order," explained Tara Dixon Engel, President of the Hall of Fame. "We have already begun clearing ground and, with the groundbreaking finished, we will be grading the land and prepping for paver installation. It is an exciting time around here. After the craziness and delays of 2020, we are ready to hit the ground running in 2021."

During the Friday ceremony, letters of support for the project were read from "America's Most Wanted" star John Walsh, Senator Rick Scott (who prepared a video presentation), Governor Ron DeSantis, Congressman Bill Posey (who attended and read his letter), the NRA, the Police Benevolent Association, the NYPD's 10-13 Club, the 9463 Foundation and others. Visitors were treated to a replica of the planned Flame, complete with hundreds of twinkling lights on the stem of the structure, just below the flame itself. Guests of honor also included Commissioner Rita Pritchett, former Commissioner Robin Fisher, officials from Rush construction, board members and staff from The American Police Hall of Fame & Museum, and many others.

"In response to the phone calls we are getting, yes, there is still opportunity for sponsorships or donations, both financial and in-kind, for the project," Shepherd noted. "The pinnacle donor spot is still available and we have a short list of companies in mind for that leadership gift, but we will meet with others who express interest in that level of visibility and involvement. Those seeking additional donor opportunities can contact Tara Dixon Engel at the Hall of Fame, while sponsorships are being handled by our Director of Sales, Events & Protocol, Janey Hicks."

Project details, deadlines and related information will be available at www.LEFlame.org for the Flame and www.USWalkofHeroes.org for the paver path. To find out more, call 321-264-0911.

Annual Flag Display Honors Law Enforcement Families

Hall of Fame Continues Flag Tradition Despite 2020 Ceremony Cancellation

Flags in front of the American Police Hall of Fame honoring Peace Officer Memorial Day.

TITUSVILLE, FL – In honor of the May 15 Peace Officer Memorial Day, The American Police Hall of Fame & Museum once again has its flag display along 405, just south of Titusville. The flags represent fallen officer family members who are served by the compassionate programs headquartered at the Hall of Fame facility.

Each year, the flags, which typically number around 13,000, are placed on the grounds of the Hall of Fame in cooperation with the Brevard County Sheriff's Department via inmates from the Brevard County jail.

Although COVID-19 threw a monkey wrench into plans for this year's memorial observance, this is nonetheless a time of reflection and tribute at the Hall of Fame.

"Although we are not holding our formal memorial service this year, we WILL have a special video tribute playing all day inside the museum's large training room," said CEO Barry Shepherd. "We want to make sure that local law enforcement and those civilians who support law enforcement have a place to come where they can reflect on the meaning of the day. The public is invited to visit the museum to watch the tribute anytime between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. It will be looping continuously. Admission to the museum is free all day. We encourage folks to come out and pay tribute to our men and women of the thin blue line and to those who gave all...in 2019 and in years past."

For those who cannot make it to the facility, a link to the video tribute will be posted on the Hall of Fame website at www.APHF.org.

Additionally, the facility is offering a virtual "Walk of Heroes" on its Facebook page, allowing the general public to pay tribute to law enforcement in general, current sworn officers, fallen or disabled officers or the families who support them. You can find the virtual tribute at https://www.facebook.com/APHF911/

For more information about the facility, go to www.APHF.org or email Policeinfo@aphf.org.
