The United Responder Shield™ is a 7-foot, 300 lb monument created by terrazzo master Allen Sedaka, and inspired by Bruce Schmutter. It is designed as a cross-country tribute to honor, unify, and heal all branches of the military and first responders who sacrificed for the nation.

​

United Responder Shield™ pays homage to all responders, those who sacrificed and those who continue to safeguard all those in need.

“We will never forget the heroes that willingly sacrificed their lives.
Their efforts have forever forged a shield of protection for us all.”

The URS250Tour™ will include a multitude of stops at firehouses along the way, featuring ceremonies & opportunities for onlookers to experience the United Responder Shield™ firsthand.
