National EMS Memorial Service Announces New Funding Program

Arlington, VA - For over 30 years the National EMS Memorial Service (NEMSMS) has been honoring EMS providers who have died in the line of duty while serving others. The Service not only recognizes our EMS fallen, but it also supports the loved ones they left behind. More than a thousand providers have been honored since the NEMSMS began.

The NEMSMS is a volunteer-based organization whose dedicated team contributes their time and expertise to ensure the EMS honorees receive the recognition and honor they deserve. The Weekend of Honor and National EMS Memorial Service rely on donations that vary in amount from year to year. Because the NEMSMS board does not have a consistent and reliable source of funding, it poses a significant struggle every year to make sure that the Service and the Weekend of Honor can occur.

To help mitigate this yearly funding challenge, the National EMS Memorial Service is launching the REMEMBERship Program. This unique program will allow those who have lost a friend, loved one or colleague a means to not only remember them and their selfless sacrifice but also provide a way in which to honor other EMS personnel who died in the line of duty in the years to come.

The REMEMBERship Program will provide a critical source of funding to ensure that the NEMSMS and Weekend of Honor can continue to provide the recognition deserved by our EMS fallen and support those they left behind. “It is our mission and duty to always remember and honor those EMS individuals who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and continue to hold the annual National EMS Memorial Weekend of Honor each year,” said Scott Davis, National EMS Memorial Service President. “The REMEMBERship Program provides a meaningful opportunity for our supporters to be an integral part of our efforts and continue the legacy of their friends, colleagues, and loved ones.”

Detailed information on the REMEMBERship Program and how to sign up to provide a small recurring monthly tax-deductible donation of $9.99 and what members will receive once enrolled, is located on the National EMS Memorial Service website.
