Every year, many in EMS and the Air Medical communities make the Ultimate Sacrifice, losing their lives in the service to others.
The purpose of the National EMS Memorial Service is to remember and honor those emergency medical services personnel who have died in the line of duty and recognize the ultimate sacrifice they have made for their fellow man.
The 2013 National EMS Memorial Service will be held June 21-23, 2013, in Colorado Springs, CO. The Bell of Honor has been invited to participate in honoring and remembering EMS personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow man.
