Before you visit, please note these guidelines:

• Do not place coins or other items in the memorial fountain. Children should not be permitted to play on, in, or near the fountain.

• Segways, bicycles, skateboards, and roller blades are not permitted in the memorial site.

• You may feel free to leave mementos at the memorial wall, understanding they will eventually be removed. Perishable items, such as flowers, will be discarded; non-perishable items will be given to Virginia Public Safety Foundation.

 

Wall panels are not numbered at the memorial site, but you can easily find a loved one's name by referring to the graphic above, which superimposes numbers over the memorial. Facing the memorial wall, you can count from the left to find your loved one's location.
