According to the Washington County Office of Emergency Management, the campaign allows individuals to purchase personalized bricks that will become a permanent part of the Emergency Services Memorial Walk of Honor.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The deadline for submitting orders for these commemorative bricks is fast approaching, with residents needing to place their requests by July 1, 2026. Each brick purchased can feature a single dedication, serving as a distinct tribute to a specific individual. To ensure a smooth process, a completed order form is required for every brick purchased. Following the installation of the newly ordered bricks, an official unveiling ceremony is scheduled to take place during the Remembrance in the Park Ceremony on September 8, 2026. This campaign offers a lasting and meaningful method for recognizing the service, preserving cherished memories, and contributing to a communal space that pays homage to the commitment and sacrifices made by emergency service personnel. Residents can also access the brick engraving order form through a provided link.
