Singer/songwriter Dave Carroll's new music video, "The Fallen and the Brave" honors firefighters who died while protecting their communities.

This video was shot at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

"I'm grateful to the NFFF for the opportunity to help commemorate the lives of fallen firefighters at the Memorial in Emmitsburg and across America," Carroll said. "This has been one of the most meaningful projects of my career."

"Dave Carroll's wonderful tribute will help the public understand the sacrifices made each day by the nation's firefighters and their families," said National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) Executive Director Ron Siarnicki. "We hope this will inspire everyone to support the survivors of these heroes and Text FIREHERO to 80077 to make a $25 donation to NFFF."

The music video was produced by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation in association with Austin Reeves and STATter911 Communications.
