National First Responders Day October 28th

National First Responders Day is observed on October 28th, a day dedicated to honoring all the brave first responders across America who risk their lives to keep the rest of us safe.

America’s first responders represent the best of who we are as a people. They are the police officers and sheriff’s deputies who answer our calls, ready to help, no matter the situation. They are the firefighters running toward the flames to protect our communities.

They are emergency medical technicians, paramedics, 911 dispatchers, 988 crisis responders, and medical professionals, all who serve when a crisis occurs.

Our first responders are everyday heroes, and we invite you to join us in expressing our collective gratitude for their service.
