WASHINGTON — A group of senators are beginning a second push for an act concerning the construction of an EMS memorial.
WDTV reported that Senators Shelley Moore Capito, Chris Coons, Tom Cotton, Bill Cassidy, Jeanne Shaheen and Elizabeth Warren reintroduced the National Emergency Medical Services Commemorative Work Act.
The act would allow a commemorative work honoring EMS providers to be built on federal land.
“First responders put so much on the line to serve their communities,” Senator Capito said. “From devastating disasters like last year’s floods in West Virginia to daily acts that make a world of difference for a single person, these brave men and women work tirelessly and selflessly to improve and save lives. While we may not be able to repay first responders for all that they do, we can certainly honor their service and sacrifice through a national memorial. The National Emergency Medical Services Commemorative Work Act will help make that possible, and I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan legislation.”
