In a Pennsylvania House resolution scheduled to be voted on today, Sept 11 will be known as Pennsylvania Emergency Responders' Day. The resolution stated that this day would be a chance to honor emergency responders to the terrorist attakcs "for their valuable service."
The Resolution gives several reasons for the creation of such a day, including the fact that "Emergency responders significantly reduced the amount of death and injury associated with that disaster" and that "Emergency responders answered the call on September 11, 2001 and displayed unselfishness and bravery in responding o the disaster in Somerset County."
The Resolution also calls on congress to pass its own version of the bill to honor emergency responders nationwide.
More than 30 legislators from both parties sponsored the resolution.
