                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for the designation of October 28, 2017, as 
            ``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day''.

Whereas first responders include professional and volunteer fire, police, 
        emergency medical technician, and paramedic workers in the United 
        States;
Whereas there are more than 25,300,000 first responders in the United States 
        working to keep communities safe;
Whereas first responders deserve to be recognized for their commitment to 
        safety, defense, and honor; and
Whereas October 28, 2017, would be an appropriate day to establish as ``Honoring 
        the Nation's First Responders Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of October 28, 2017, as 
        ``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day'';
            (2) honors and recognizes the contributions of first 
        responders; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day with appropriate 
        ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of the 
        contributions of first responders in the United States.
