America 250 Uniform Family Salute
America turns 250 in 2026. Uniform Families Foundation is marking the year by saluting 250 uniform families, the firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers, medical professionals, service members, and the kids who have kept this country standing for two and a half centuries.
The Salute
250 Years. 250 Families.
Through December 31, 2026, Uniform Families Foundation will honor 250 uniform families across all six pillars, by name, with their story, their photo, and the country's thanks.

Why We Built This
The Country Was Held Up by Families Like These
For 250 years, someone has run toward the fire, the call, the wound, and the fight, and someone else has kept the light on at home. America's 250th belongs to both of them. Uniform Families Foundation is making sure the second group is named too.
