Service's Fallen Comrades Memorial

Inscription for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fallen Comrades Memorial: In tribute to the men and women of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who died protecting America's natural resources. We honor them and remember their sacrifice for conservation and for the nation. On May 15, 2000 a new memorial was dedicated at the Fish and Wildlife Service's National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The Fallen Comrades Memorial was an initiative of the Service's Heritage Committee to help ensure that those who made the ultimate sacrifice would never be forgotten. NCTC is the new home of the Service for both current and former employees and hence a fitting location for a memorial to those former colleagues who died in the service of American conservation.
