   SENATE RESOLUTION 433--EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE DESIGNATION OF 
  OCTOBER 28, 2021, AS ``HONORING THE NATION'S FIRST RESPONDERS DAY''

  Ms. WARREN (for herself, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Rosen, and Mr. 
Peters) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 433

       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, 2021, would be an appropriate day to 
     establish as ``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day'': 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) supports the designation of October 28, 2021, 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.
