Our History
Our organization was founded in 2005 by members of the City of Milwaukee Fire Department Honor Guard and North Shore Fire Department Honor Guard with the specific mission of training and educating members of the fire service and other emergency service honor guards.
Over the last 14 years we have stayed true to the traditions that our clinic was founded on "Family, Honor, Respect and Compassion". In addition to these traditions we also remain deeply rooted in the traditions created by our brothers and sisters over the last 335 years.
Since our inception in 2005 our core curriculum has remained very much the same. However each year we continue to refine the skills we teach and on occasion add new skills based on operational experiences of our instructors who come from diverse departments from across the United States and Canada. Some of these instructors are Commanders or Deputy / Co-Commanders of their respective local honor guard units, state honor guard units and the IAFF Honor Guard.
Several of our instructors have been honored to take part in scheduled memorials across the United States including the IAFF Fallen Fighters Memorial and the Wisconsin Fallen Firefighters Memorial, with several holding leadership positions. In addition to taking part in these scheduled memorials, members of our instructor staff have been invited to assist in fully coordinating line of duty death funerals for our fallen brothers and sisters across the United States.
Since 2014 we have had the benefit of having brothers and sisters attend our clinic from outside the United States. These brothers and sisters have allowed our instructors to learn more about how other honor guard units from outside the United States operate.
It is our belief that because of the combined number of years of experience that our instructors have, with on-going training and real world honor guard operations, coupled with several social events in the evening during our clinic that allow for those attending our clinic to not only receive expert classroom and practical instruction but also socialize and network with other honor guard unit members from across the United States and Canada that we provide the most well rounded and complete honor guard training experience available.

Very proud of the dedication and honor displayed by Lt. Steve Delwey and FF Andrew Thomas in the completion of a week long Honor Guard training in Wisconsin, with the Milwaukee Honor Guard Clinic . The information they bring back will be shared with other members of our Honor Guard Team, to further the capabilities of bestowing honor to our flag and personnel.
Last week, volunteer, Hilary Moll, was honored to take part in the annual Milwaukee Honor Guard Clinic This is a training program where first responders from all over North America take part in a week long training to hone their skills.
Much like their goal is to honor the families of the fallen.
Milwaukee Honor Guard Clinic's main focus is "serving the families of the fallen hero. This is one of the hardest days in their life, and as honor guard members, it is our responsibility to make that day as easy as possible for them. This enables the family to grieve in peace and honor their loved one."
Thank you Milwaukee Honor Guard for inviting us to learn more about your program and your training! We look forward to future partnerships!
