U.S. Senators Michael Bennet
and Mark Udall announced that the Senate has passed a concurrent resolution
that they sponsored to recognize Colorado Springs as the new home of a yearly
National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Memorial Service. The resolution
congratulates Colorado Springs for being named the home of the annual ceremony
to honor fallen first responders. The National EMS Board of Directors elected
to move the yearly ceremony from Roanoke, Va., and selected Colorado Springs
from a number of competing cities. This year’s 18th Annual National EMS
Memorial Service will take place on June 26, 2010, at the First Presbyterian
Church in Colorado Springs. (A similar resolution has been introduced in
the House.) The National EMS Memorial Service has been honoring the men and women of
America's EMS systems who have made the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their
lives in the line of duty since 1993. For more information….
