Honor & Remembrance: Trail of the Fallen
The Aaron Clark Peer Support Team is hosting a commemorative hike up the Trail of the Fallen, bringing the FDNY community together to honor both FDNY Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
This event combines outdoor fellowship with a solemn tribute to those who served and sacrificed in the fire service and the military. Key highlights include:
Dual Commemoration: A shared opportunity to observe FDNY Memorial Day and Veterans Day together, recognizing the deep historical overlap between military service and the fire department.
Reflective Journey: Hiking the symbolic Trail of the Fallen provides a meaningful backdrop for quiet reflection, shared stories, and honoring the memory of fallen brothers and sisters.
Health, Resilience & Camaraderie: Physical activity in nature is a proven avenue for stress relief and connection. The hike invites you to learn a new skill while leaning on peer support in an informal, outdoor setting. We encourage you to include your family!
