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 
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 Na-
tion’s first responders.
