A Tribute to first Responders
The Museum is honoring First Responders this year. During the pandemic, first responders were called upon to go above and beyond their usual heroic efforts to aid the public in a time of dire need.
First responders, including police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, are essential workers required to interact with the public, and in the midst of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, their work became particularly visible.
Their continued sacrifices and skills in assisting the public, not only expose them to high risk events and situations, but has a significant impact on both their physical and mental health.
At this time of year, we ask that you join us in acknowledging the tremendous work that First Responders perform for us each day.
