Sorry about not getting back soon enough as "Duty Called" (AND CALLED, AND CALLED AND CALLED) today.
Anyhow it was a one time event but was very moving. Unfortunately, IMHO it should be in D.C. as there is a memorial for P.D. and for F.D.
The Memorial has been held in Roanoke VA due to the theory that EMS was was started there by the First Aid Rescue Squad, The City of Pittsburgh EMS Honor Guard pretty much leads the event (Jack Glass) but the system is lead by a group of EMS Providers from across the country.
I had the Opportunity to be a member of the countrywide Honor Guard last year but due to financial and work conflicts I could not travel to Colorado Springs.
The thing that I find strange is that EMT City is a sponsor of the "Muddy Angels" as is JEMS Magazine. However both groups collections go to the EMS MEMORIAL SERVICE.
So why don't we hear about it?
Those moments of silence that you hear about over the dispatch centers usually coincide with the EMS Memorial service.
Watch this website for details next year...
