Designating the month of May as "National First Responder Month".
HRES 1185 designates the month of May as "National First Responder Month" to honor police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and other first responders. The resolution expresses congressional support for this designation and encourages the public to recognize first responders' service through celebrations, thanks, and tributes. It does not create new laws, funding, or requirements; it is a symbolic gesture acknowledging their work. The bill directly affects all first responders across the U.S., including those serving in rural, tribal, and urban communities.
