Whereas first responders include all professional and volun-
teer fire, police, emergency medical technician (EMT),
and paramedic workers in the United States;
Whereas according to a 2017 compilation of data on the
Emergency Services Sector in the United States by the
Department of Homeland Security, ‘‘The first responder
community comprises an estimated 4.6 million career and
volunteer professionals within five primary disciplines:
Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue Services, Emergency
Medical Services, Emergency Management, and Public
Works.’’;
Whereas first responders deserve to be recognized for their
commitment to safety, defense, and honor; and
Whereas October 28 would be an appropriate day to establish
as ‘‘Honoring the Nation’s First Responders Day’’: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
1
concurring), That Congress—
2
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Honoring the
3
Nation’s First Responders Day’’;
4
(2) honors and recognizes the contributions of
5
first responders; and
6
(3) encourages the people of the United States
7
to observe ‘‘Honoring the Nation’s First Responders
8
Day’’ with appropriate ceremonies and activities that
9
promote awareness of the contributions of the Na-
10
tion’s first responders.
