Honoring Our First Responders on National First Responders Day – October 28, 2024
By Alan W. Perdue, Executive Director of the Safer Buildings Coalition
Today, on National First Responders Day, we pause to honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, EMTs, and 911 operators who stand ready to respond when we need them most. Since Congress designated this day in 2017, October 28 has become a moment for our nation to express profound gratitude to those who risk their lives to protect us. Their commitment to duty is unwavering, and their courage often leads them into situations that most of us can only imagine. This is a day to remember not just their bravery, but also to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their legacy is one of selflessness, and their impact reverberates through the lives they touched.
