The pins are presented to the families of fallen firefighters at the annual memorial service held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland, on the Sunday after Fire Prevention Week.

If sufficient funds are received to cover the cost of the 1995 edition, a donation will be given to the Fallen Firefighter`s Foundation.
