THE 2026 RECOGNITION GALA
December 8th 2026, We celebrate the success and individuals behind the United Responders Shield movement. Educating the future of first responders and recognizing those who sacrifice their well being for our safety. Together, we will NEVER forget, and together we shall look beyond any single uniform to honor all those whose god given purpose is to serve.
No events at the moment
United Responder Shield™ embarks on URS250 Tour Honoring First Responders and ALL Military Branches.
The United First Responder Shield is a seven foot, 300 lb tribute to all First Responders and our military. This piece was created by Terrazzo Master Allen Sedaka, and through the divine inspiration of Bruce Schmutter, whose life's purpose was reborn as a volunteer responder on September 12, 2001, in the aftermath of the World Trade Center.
In recognition of the 250th birthday of our nation and the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), has selected the United Responder Shield as a symbol of patriotism and unity.
The Shield will make its 7200 mile journey across the country and educate the future of mankind on the importance of the heroes of today.
Regards, Bruce Schmutter, Executive Director & Founder The Actionable Innovation Institute℠
Protecting The Protectors, Protects Us All!
