The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was

Medical Services Memorial Foundation (Foundation) to establish a
commemorative work in the District of Columbia and its environs.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers respond to approxi-
mately 37 million emergency calls annually across the United
States. These professionals are first responders in all types of
emergency situations, ranging from medical emergencies, to nat-
ural disasters, to fires, and acts of terrorism. According to the De-
partment of Labor and the National Highway Safety Administra-
tion, EMS providers die in the line of duty at a rate more than
twice the national average for all occupational fatalities. Over 650
men and women who served have made the ultimate sacrifice while
performing their duties, which have occurred in every state across
the country.
