It is foolish
and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
---George S. Patton, Jr.
| The Union Memorial Wall is the solemn space where brothers and sisters who passed on invite others to take up their torch and carry it forward. Today, your union stands steadfast in the values and work ethics our founders and fellow members lived and died for. We are proud to pay them an everlasting tribute. Our lives and livelihoods are better today because they cared. We thank them for their deeds and dedication and proudly engrave their names in this wall as a small token of our
appreciation. Together, UA Sprinkler fitters 821 and Union Memorials.com have formed the UA Sprinkler fitters 821 Union Memorial Wall to pay tribute to our fallen brothers.
