                Proclamation 8824 of May 21, 2012

                
Emergency Medical Services Week, 2012

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Day and night, in communities across our country, men 
                and women providing emergency medical services (EMS) 
                stand at the front lines of our public safety and 
                public health systems, ready to respond with care and 
                efficiency at a moment's notice. During Emergency 
                Medical Services Week, we honor their essential 
                contributions to our health and safety, and we recommit 
                to supporting all EMS personnel as they carry out their 
                courageous work.

                Representing a diverse array of professions and skill 
                sets, EMS practitioners are united by their devotion to 
                building a stronger, more resilient Nation. They serve 
                in both the public and private sectors--from the first 
                responders, emergency medical technicians, and 
                paramedics who arrive at the scene to 911 dispatchers, 
                firefighters, law enforcement officers, and 
                professionals throughout our health care system who 
                work together to ensure those in need receive the 
                highest level of emergency service. Thousands of 
                Americans have dedicated their careers to saving lives 
                as EMS practitioners; thousands more serve as 
                volunteers, going above and beyond to sustain the 
                health and safety of their communities. As they 
                tirelessly pursue that critical mission, my 
                Administration remains committed to working with 
                partners across government and industry to strengthen 
                our EMS system and bolster preparedness in homes and 
                hospitals across America.

                Emergency medical services personnel demonstrate a 
                profound commitment to our country and to our common 
                humanity. Day after day, they answer the call to 
                serve--to step into crisis and spark hope where it 
                grows dim. This week, let us pay tribute to these 
                selfless individuals and renew our promise to provide 
                them with the support and services they need to protect 
                their communities.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim May 20 through May 
                26, 2012, as Emergency Medical Services Week. I 
                encourage all Americans to observe this occasion by 
                sharing their support with their local EMS providers 
                and taking steps to improve their personal safety and 
                preparedness.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
