First Response Coalition Calls for 110th Congress to Establish September 25th as "National First Responders Appreciation Day"

Sen. Collins, Rep. Harman and First Response Groups Endorse Efforts for Recognition

The First Response Coalition (FRC) today called on Congress to designate September 25th as "National First Responders Appreciation Day." This long-overdue national day of recognition would honor the millions of first responders who risk their lives to protect America's communities. The FRC will urge Congress to consider the measure in early 2007.
