CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing support for designation of October 28 as ``Honoring the
Nation's First Responders Day''.
Whereas first responders include all professional and volunteer 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 concurring),
That Congress--
(1) supports the designation of ``Honoring the Nation's
First Responders Day'';
(2) honors and recognizes the contributions of first
responders; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe
``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day'' with appropriate
ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of the
contributions of the Nation's first responders.
