September 16th, 2016: “Ever since 2013, September 27 has been First Responder Appreciation Day in Oregon – but now, Governor Kate Brown is expanding the observance for the first time. In an official proclamation, Gov. Brown is declaring September 21 – 27 to be First Responder Appreciation Week, honoring not only police officers and firefighters but also EMT’s, 911 dispatchers, and search and rescue volunteers.” – Kelsey Watts, FOX 12 Oregon
