(WASHINGTON D.C) – Beginning the July 18th weekend, EMS professionals, families, and supporters from across the country will gather in the nation’s capital for the 2025 National EMS Weekend of Honor, a deeply moving tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The three-day event, taking place in Arlington, Virginia, will commemorate the lives of 29 fallen EMS and air medical personnel from 14 states.
Organized by the National EMS Memorial Service and the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride, the Weekend of Honor is a nationally recognized tribute made possible through the work of hundreds of volunteers, donors, and non-profit partners. Among those supporting this year’s efforts is EMS Management & Consultants (EMS|MC), which proudly contributed $5,000 through a combination of employee donations and a company match.
“This is more than just a donation — it’s a reflection of our values and our gratitude to those who serve,” said Jay Gyure, CFO of EMS|MC. “We’re proud to stand with the EMS community and remember those who gave everything in the service of others.”
The event will begin on Friday, July 18, with the arrival of the Moving Honors procession, escorted by the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride’s Ride of Honor. That afternoon, families of the fallen will take part in an unveiling ceremony featuring the Tree of Life, engraved with the names of the 29 honorees.
The solemn centerpiece of the weekend, the National EMS Memorial Service, will follow on Saturday evening, July 19, providing an opportunity for the EMS community and the public to collectively honor the dedication, bravery, and sacrifice of those who lost their lives in the line of duty.
“We are deeply committed to recognizing the sacrifices of EMS and air medical professionals who have given their lives in the line of duty, as well as supporting the families and loved ones they left behind,” Scott Davis, President of the National EMS Memorial Service, told EMS1 back in April. “Our mission is to ensure their sacrifices are always remembered.”
