                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for the designation of October 28, 2019, as 
            ``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day''.

Whereas first responders include professional and volunteer fire, police, 
        emergency medical technician, 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, 2019, would be an appropriate day to establish as ``Honoring 
        the Nation's First Responders Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) supports the designation of October 28, 2019, as 
        ``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 first responders in the United States.
