I think it is safe to say that spring has finally sprung!!!!! Everyday the trees turn greener with their new foliage, tulips and daffodils are in full bloom. Soon the red bud trees will burst in beautiful sprays of tiny purple flowers, yes; I do believe winter has left the state!

With the arrival of Spring each year comes my favorite week of the year, the week that we get to honor and celebrate with all of you who have given of your time and talents so unselfishly, EMS Week, beginning May 18th and concluding  May 24, 2008. Many of you will be treated to meals and tokens during this week as a small gesture of appreciation of the service you provide. I have been fortunate enough to see what an important, vital service you all provide to the citizen’s of your respective communities. Without these services many of the very people you have tended to would no longer be with us. They would have never seen the gentle, caring side of what EMS is all about. You are not just ambulance drivers; you are competent, compassionate people who are exceptionally well prepared to handle any emergency that comes your way. You handle the dying with respect and dignity, you ease the fears of our children, and sometimes you are the only people with our children in their final moments so that we know they did not go alone. You are the saviors of those who should not be here but are, because you made a difference! You are truly people who genuinely CARE! With all of the terrorism, disease and lunacy in this world of ours, you are the people who rush to help, putting your life on hold to help complete strangers, neighbors, friends and family. I salute each and every one of you and thank you all from the bottom of my heart for doing the jobs that you do, my family thanks you as does my community! I wish each of you a wonderful EMS week, may it be filled with the respect and gratitude that each of you have earned!

 

Yours in Safety and Appreciation,
