GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla -- The community can honor first responders through Heroes Walk, Clay County's new program at its 9/11 Memorial. 

Heroes Walk invites individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to purchase a personalized engraved brick to be placed at the Memorial in tribute to a firefighter, law enforcement officer, paramedic, or any public safety professional who has made a difference.

Each engraved brick becomes part of a shared story—one built by the community, for the community. 

Clay County's first 9/11 Memorial is located at the newly built Clay County Fire Rescue Station 20, and it includes steel beams from the North Tower and a sapling from the original Survivor Tree. 

All proceeds from Heroes Walk go directly to maintaining and preserving the 9/11 Memorial, ensuring this meaningful place continues to inspire reflection, unity, and pride for generations to come.

Brick pricing:
A $200 donation reserves your personalized brick in the inaugural section.

The inaugural section is limited to 100 bricks, and we will continue to identify more locations at the Memorial as the program expands.
