Honoring First Responders in Davie

WHO: Firefighters, emergency medical professionals, and law enforcement officers who serve our communities

WHAT: Honoring First Responders Forever Stamp Dedication Ceremony
 

WHEN: Friday, September 14, at 11 a.m. 

WHERE: Davie Police Department, 1230 S Nob Hill Road, Davie, FL 33324

WHY: Emergencies of various types, ranging from crimes and medical incidents to accidents and fires, occur in our communities every day. These critical situations require men and women who possess the training and knowledge to rescue the endangered, treat the injured, and restore safety and order. With this stamp, the U.S. Postal Service recognizes all first responders for their skill, dedication, and uncommon bravery.

The illustration on the stamp is a symbolic scene that shows three first responders in profile, facing right, as they race into action. From left, the first figure is a firefighter carrying an axe; the second is an EMS worker with the EMS Star of Life visible on her cap, upper arm and emergency bag; and third is a law enforcement officer shining a flashlight toward unknown danger ahead. The dark background and signs of smoke around the figures suggest the wide range of situations that demand the immediate attention of a first responder. 

Employees are invited to attend this event as an off-the-clock activity.
