The long road to the Chester County Hero Plaque program started in 2007 over a cup of coffee after a Hero Plaque dedication in Montgomery County. Past President John Bailey approached prominent Philadelphia Attorney and local celebrity, James J. Binns, about the Hero Plaque program he created in Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties to honor their fallen heroes. Mr. Binns suggested bringing the program to Chester County. After 2 1/2 years of hard work and overwhelming support from the Commissioners of Chester County the Hero Plaques were given a home on the Market Street side of the Historic Court House in West Chester. The first plaque was dedicated in September of 2009. Over the next three years 9 police officer and 2 fire fighter plaques were dedicated to our fallen heroes. The mission of the Hero Plaque Program is to never forget...
