“I don’t know what your destiny will be.
But one thing I do know: the only ones among
us who will be really happy are those who
have sought and found a way to serve others.”

Reflecting on the Decade Making History While Breaking Ground In 2010, Massachusetts Fallen Heroes (MFH) was born. In 2016, the memorial was erected. A first of its kind in the country, the memorial marked the beginning of Honoring those Fallen Heroes lost since 9/11. Now bearing the weight of over 300 names, the 50-foot obelisk stands proudly in the heart of the Boston Seaport as a beacon for Gold Star Families, Veterans, and all those seeking to Honor the Fallen. 2 | Massachusetts Fallen Heroes
A Landmark in the Heart of
the Seaport
Six short years after its inception, MFH achieved
the impossible. Reflecting the strength and
resilience of the Gold Star Families they
Support, the co-founders refused to take no for
an answer. Thanks to those men and women
that came together with passion and vision in
2010, the memorial’s inaugural dedication was
observed in 2016.

2020: Adapt & Overcome Throughout the pandemic, MFH has helped provide 68 tractor trailers filled with a total of 68,544 boxes of food; this allowed MFH to distribute over 2 million pounds of food to families in the greater Boston area and assistance during these difficult times, and always strive to fulfill our mission to Honor, Support, and Empower. 4 | Massachusetts Fallen Heroes

Sergeant First Class Eric Michael Emond Center for Excellence Over the past year, our family at MFH has been processing the surreal death of our co-founder, Eric Emond. The tragic loss roused our drive and deepened our grasp of the meaning of sacrifice. Unknowingly, Eric had planned his own memorial. Though he may have physically departed, he left behind a doctrine of respect and tribute. As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we pay tribute to Eric by establishing another legacy in his Honor. The future of MFH includes a new space to call home: The Sergeant First Class Eric Michael Emond Center For Excellence (ECE). Housing InnoVets Boston, this 5,600 square foot space is the next step in our mission to Support and Empower those we serve. This state of the art haven will be an accelerator, nurturing Veteran and Gold Star entrepreneurs as they move forward in life after loss and/or service. This space will include our first interactive memorial, allowing us to Honor our Fallen with more depth and Gold Star Family participation than ever. 6 | Massachusetts Fallen Heroes
An Interactive
Experience for Gold
Star Family Members
The interactive memorial will promote
Gold Star Family engagement in the
remembrance of their Fallen Hero more
than ever before. Our mission to cultivate
a “living memorial” will be achieved by
directly involving families in documenting
how their Fallen Hero lived and Honoring
their memory.
The Future of
Seaport Square
The next phase of the ECE interactive
memorial will be moved to its permanent
home in Seaport Square in Honor Block
overlooking the obelisk.

The Family First Program,
previously referred to as
Gold Star Gatherings, is the
lifeblood of MFH. With at
least 24 exclusive events
held per year, each brings
together post-9/11 Gold
Star Families from across

everyone. This program
is always expanding and
partnering with sponsors
and supporters to bring
the best experiences to our
beloved Gold Star Families.
Gold Star Family
Support
MFH supports post-9/11 Gold Star
Families in many ways, but the most
treasured and effective approach
is by creating connections. We
believe in cultivating a safe, fun
environment in which families can
reflect on their shared experience
and realize they are not alone.
Annual Gold Star Holiday Dinner
Each December the MFH Gold Star Family community gathers for the holidays to
celebrate and reflect on the absence of their Fallen Hero with each other. Families
break bread together and children under 18 receive gifts. This event will be held at
the American Heritage Museum in December 2020.

anticipation, and hope for what’s to come in the future.
I am stronger and feel a massive sense of pride representing
an organization my husband helped create and would like
to be a sense of hope for others who are walking, and
will walk, this terrible journey of losing part of their family.”
