Yesterday morning, we had the honor of attending three parades in recognition of Memorial Day.

As we near the eve of the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, we celebrate who we are as a people; diversity, inclusion, freedom, and the right to be who we each individually are. Simultaneously, we recognize these and other foundational principles that forged our great American nation were not the sole culmination of long letters written to the King of England, but rather the sacrifices in blood, passion and perseverance set forth by ordinary Americans from the first shot at Lexington and Concord, all the way through to our present day. In each successive conflict from our first, our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents have been willing to, and have, sacrificed themselves and everything they hold dear for the guarantee of our tomorrow, without having met everyone they gave that next day to. We recognize and honor them for their sacrifices for our today, tomorrow, and our future; and we hope that yesterday you did the same, and continue to remember the brave and selfless soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen laid to rest in the name of the American people.

Thank you, Jim Tallman and Jim Leslie, for decorating the graves of our members and honoring their service.

"Originally called Decoration Day, from the early tradition of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths and flags, Memorial Day is a day for remembrance of those who have died in service to our country. It was first widely observed on May 30, 1868 to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers, by proclamation of Gen. John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of former Union sailors and soldiers."

As EMS Week draws to a close, we'd like to point attention once more to some things that occur without pager tones, lights, and sirens.

Thursday morning, Cooperstown EMS members were on hand at Cooperstown Elementary School on Walnut Street for EMS Day. EMS Day includes several activities for our second graders, including making slings, tours of the ambulance, getting copies of their heartbeat from our cardiac monitor, learning how to use a backboard and straps, and how to use our stretcher, and of course, answering every question asked! We adore this day every spring; not only do we get to go back outside into pleasant weather after a long winter, but we look forward to teaching a little bit about what we do, and seeing so many smiling faces looking back at us.

Thank you for a fun morning, Cooperstown Elementary 2nd grade!

Happy EMS Week!

From today until the 23rd, we wish not only our own EMS providers recognition for everything they do day in and day out, but extend the same wishes to our neighboring emergency squads, OCES educators, colleagues across two local air medical services, and EMS providers certified around the world!

Attached are some glimpses into the life of an EMS provider; training, education, recertification, standby briefings, drill, calls day and night, community outreach, awards, recruitment and, of course, a bit of who we are as individuals. We go to some unique places, do things we never thought possible, and meet incredible people every step of the way. Our members are as unique as the situations they find themselves in, and we are grateful for the amount of work they do for the community and within the department itself.

Thank you for everything you do! 🚑 🚑 🚑
