Today and every day we honor and recognize our DC Firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics and staff who donned a uniform in our armed forces.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served…thank you for your bravery, duty, and service to our Nation.

Three cardiac arrest survivors reunited with bystanders, first responders and call takers who helped to save their lives following cardiac arrest.

The chain of survival is critical because…

Every second counts.
Every action matters.
Every life saved is worth celebrating.
