To help honor our brother and sister NY Emergency Medical Service providers who lost their lives in the World Trade Center attack, and the many others who have paid with their lives while helping others, please send an email to Governor George Pataki, with copies to Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.

• Request that legislation to create an Emergency Medical Services Line of Duty Death Memorial at the Empire State Plaza be expedited in light of the World Trade Center attack.

• Tell the Governor that A-2975 and S-2280 are bills that would create this memorial but are stalled in the Finance Committee.

• Let the Governor know that Law Enforcement and the Fire Service both have already been given similar memorials by New York State.

• Tell the Governor what your certification level is, and that you want him and the legislature to help you honor your brave fellow EMS providers in the same way that Police and Fire personnel are honored.

• Be sure to provide your name, full mailing address (including zip code) and phone number. Email addresses are not adequate to ensure your voice is heard!
