Senators Schmitt, Coons Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Reauthorize Construction of Memorial Honoring EMTs and Paramedics
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and Chris Coons (D-DE) introduced a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the National Emergency Services Memorial Foundation to establish a national memorial in Washington, D.C. to honor EMS professionals for their service, dedication, and sacrifice.
“EMTs and paramedics in Missouri, and across the United States, work tirelessly during emergencies, often putting themselves in harm’s way to save lives. Thanks to this legislation, our emergency medical service providers will have a well-deserved national memorial that reminds the public of their commitment to service and honors those who have died in the line-of-duty,” said Senator Schmitt.
