National Paramedic Recognition Day 🇺🇸

Peter,
Today is National Paramedic Recognition Day, a moment to pause and honor the courage, commitment, and quiet heroism of paramedics across the country.

Paramedics are often the first to arrive when someone is in crisis. They are trained to move quickly, make life-saving decisions under pressure, and offer care in the most critical moments. Whether it’s a medical emergency, a multi-vehicle crash, a natural disaster, or an act of violence, they remain calm, focused, and ready every single time.
Their work is physically demanding, emotionally intense, and often invisible to the public. But behind every saved life, behind every stabilized patient, is a paramedic who showed up when it mattered most.
Today, we also remember those who served during one of the darkest days in our nation’s history: September 11, 2001. As the Twin Towers burned and thousands tried to escape, paramedics ran toward the devastation. They climbed stairwells. They treated the injured in the streets. They risked everything to do their job, and they did it without hesitation.
Eight paramedics lost their lives that day, alongside dozens of EMTs, firefighters, and police officers. In the years since, many more have passed away due to injuries, illness, and the lasting trauma of that day. Their courage lives on in the paramedics who continue to serve today.
These are not just emergency responders. They are protectors. They are healers. They are the difference between life and death in countless situations.
To every paramedic, past and present, we see you. We thank you. And we honor your service.
With Respect,The Pentagon Memorial Fund Team
