Heroes of Wylie - Wylie, TX - Police Memorials on Waymarking.com

"The 6-foot-3-inch bronze sculpture, "Heroes of Wylie," was created by Tucson, Arizona, artist Sid Henderson. The piece depicts a firefighter and police officer standing side by side and was dedicated Sept. 11, 2015, at the Public Safety Building.

Members of the Wylie police and fire departments gave input into the design and emotion of the sculpture, including their wish to have uniform elements depicted in accurate detail. Plaques engraved with "Fireman's Prayer" and "Police Officer's Prayer" are featured on its base, along with a plaque dedicating the piece to the men and women of WPD and WFR.

The dedication date was chosen to pay tribute not only to those currently serving the Wylie community, but also to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of 9/11. "I hope that, as Wylie citizens and visitors view the statue, they will be reminded to honor the people who put their lives at risk on behalf of their families, their friends, their neighbors, their fellow citizens, and the strangers who come wtihin our city limits," Mayor Eric Hogue said."
