Bill > SCR112

This concurrent resolution proclaims October 28, 2025, as National First Responders Day in Delaware, honoring the approximately 4.6 million professional and volunteer first responders who serve across the United States, including firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and paramedics. The resolution highlights the critical role these emergency personnel play in public safety, noting their unwavering dedication, especially during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters. Drawing on a 2017 Congressional designation, the resolution emphasizes that while first responders should be appreciated daily, October 28th provides a specific opportunity to recognize their extraordinary commitment to protecting communities, saving lives, and often risking their own safety. The resolution acknowledges the profound sacrifices made by first responders, including those who have tragically lost their lives in the line of duty, and seeks to express national gratitude for their essential service in providing aid, hope, and comfort during times of crisis.
