About Us

The Seminole County Heroes Memorial Association, Inc. has received official designation from the State of Florida as a not-for-profit organization for the purpose of raising funds to build a permanent memorial to the fallen Military, Police and Firefighters in the area of the County's Criminal Justice Center.
In 2007, the County Commissioners authorized Commissioner Dick Van Der Weide to spearhead the creation of this private citizens' corporation to move the project along to completion. The formation of the new group is a result of his efforts.
The memorial is slated to be located to the east of the Criminal Justice Center and fronting on US 17-92, adjacent to the existing pond.
