                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing support for designation of October 28 as ``Honoring the 
                    Nation's First Responders Day''.

Whereas first responders include all professional and volunteer fire, police, 
        emergency medical technician (EMT), and paramedic workers in the United 
        States;
Whereas according to a 2017 compilation of data on the Emergency Services Sector 
        in the United States by the Department of Homeland Security, ``The first 
        responder community comprises an estimated 4.6 million career and 
        volunteer professionals within five primary disciplines: Law 
        Enforcement, Fire and Rescue Services, Emergency Medical Services, 
        Emergency Management, and Public Works.'';
Whereas first responders deserve to be recognized for their commitment to 
        safety, defense, and honor; and
Whereas October 28 would be an appropriate day to establish as ``Honoring the 
        Nation's First Responders Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) supports the designation of ``Honoring the Nation's 
        First Responders Day'';
            (2) honors and recognizes the contributions of first 
        responders; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        ``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day'' with appropriate 
        ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of the 
        contributions of the Nation's first responders.
