Whereas the term first responders includes all fire, police, EMT, and volunteer first responder workers in the United States; Whereas there are over 25,300,000 first responders in the United States today, working to keep our communities safe; Whereas first responders, both professional and volunteer, 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

That Congress— (1) supports the designation of Honoring the Nation’s First Responders Day ; (2) honors and recognizes the contributions of volunteer firefighters, policemen, and other service men and women; 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.
