144 EMS fallen to be honored during the National EMS Weekend of Honor National EMS Memorial Service Press Release | June 28, 2021 Estimated reading time 4 minutes, 23 seconds. The National EMS Memorial Service, the National EMS Memorial Foundation and the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride will pay tribute to 144 EMS and air medical fallen from 39 states across the U.S. during the 2021 National EMS Weekend of Honor. It is scheduled Jul. 23-25 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National Airport, 2799 Richmond Highway in Arlington, Virginia. The increased number of honorees being recognized this year is due to last year’s cancellation combined with ongoing research and vetting efforts dedicated to locating yet-to-be-honored EMS fallen from the past. This year’s lists include the 2019 and 2020 honorees plus 72 past EMS fallen dating back as far as 1895 that were researched and vetted for inclusion thanks to the efforts of many volunteers.
