Weekend Tribute Announced for Air Medical and EMS Line of Duty Deaths

The “Weekend of Tribute” for the Air Medical Memorial and National EMS Memorial Services will be June 25-28th. This year 33 individuals from 7 states and 6 countries will be honored between the two services. The events begin Thursday evening at the Air Medical Memorial site in Littleton, followed by a Remembrance Ceremony at 7:00 a.m. on Friday morning. Activities then transition to the Antlers Hilton in Colorado Springs on Friday afternoon. The National EMS Memorial Service will be held at the Pikes Peak Center at 6:00 on Saturday evening. Also of interest that week, the Colorado portion of the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride will depart from Ft.

The Weekend of Tribute is organized and hosted by the following organizations: Air Medical
Memorial, National EMS Memorial Bike Ride, National EMS Memorial Service, and the
Survivors Network for Air and Surface Medical Transport. The lives of air medical and EMS
providers who died in the line of duty in 2014 will be honored and celebrated.

a show of support as we honor our own for their selfless service and sacrifice.
