It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
---George S. Patton, Jr.

IBEW Founders
Our Founders...
They dared to dream.
It has often been said that a union is made up of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Beginning with our Founders, the IBEW has been built by members working together to make a better life for each other. Be proud of this, your union heritage. 

It's important that we remember our fallen brothers who helped to build this union. Together, the IBEW Local Union No. 728 and Memories of Me have formed the IBEW 728 Memorial Wall to pay tribute to our fallen brothers. In the true spirit of our union heritage, let's pause and reflect on the paths taken by our brothers who were here with us. Take a moment to visit the dedications and honor those we worked with, laughed with, and loved. The IBEW 728 Memorial Wall is a place of honor, built with union pride, to hold fast to their memory.

 

Through a special partnership arrangement with Union Memorials.com, we have received special pricing for our IBEW 728 brothers. E-mail sales@unionmemorials.com if you are interested in upgrading any of the memorials below to include music, photographs, etc. Mention that you are member of IBEW to receive a discount.
