Guardians of Freedom
At Guardians of Freedom, we honor and remember the brave souls who lost their lives in the service of our country, especially K9 Handlers and their 4 legged soliders.
Join us as we complete our monument park and share the life and sacrifice of Sgt. Adam Cann and his K9 Hero, Bruno.
Herkimer and Oneida Counties Wall of Honor
Every community is shaped by individuals who choose service, courage, and sacrifice. The Herkimer and Oneida Counties Wall of Honor has been created to ensure their stories are never forgotten.
Located at the Guardians of Freedom Memorial just off New York State Thruway Exit 30, the Wall of Honor will stand as a permanent tribute to the veterans, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and K9 heroes who dedicated their lives to protecting our communities and our nation.
This memorial will preserve their names, and where possible their faces, as a lasting reminder of the courage and commitment it takes to safeguard the freedoms we enjoy every day.
Families, friends, and community members are invited to help ensure these heroes are remembered by submitting nominations for individuals from Herkimer and Oneida Counties who served with honor and have since passed.
Nominations must be submitted by May 22, 2026.
Help us preserve their legacy and ensure their service is remembered for generations to come.
