National EMS Memorial
Kentucky
honorees |
The National EMS Memorial is located at the To The Rescue Museum in Roanoake, Virginia. There,
the Tree of Life memorializes those who have lost their lives in the unselfish
performance of their duties saving others. Each spring the National EMS Memorial Service
is held in Roanoke to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow men and
women.
The National Association of Emergency Medical
Technicians, in cooperation with the National EMS Memorial Service Board and the To
The Rescue Museum, offers the National EMS Memorial
Service Web Site as a tribute to the men and women of American's EMS systems who have
made the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in the line of duty. This site lists the
names and brief biographies of those individuals honored by the National EMS Memorial
Service, and is an electronic mirror of the Tree of Life, the permanent memorial
exhibit housed at the museum. The biographies presented there are the same
ones that appear in the EMS Memorial Book.
The National
EMS Memorial Bike Ride, Inc. honors Emergency Medical Services
personnel by organizing and implementing long distance cycling
events that memorialize and celebrate the lives of those who serve
everyday, those who have become sick or injured while performing
their duties, and those who have died in the line of duty.
In this space we specifically honor EMS providers from Kentucky who have died in the
line of duty, have met the National EMS Memorial Service criteria, and have been approved
by the National EMS Memorial Service Board for recognition.
