On October 28, Americans will unite to celebrate National First Responders Day, honoring the courage and sacrifice of those who protect and serve our communities. From police officers and firefighters to EMTs and paramedics, these everyday heroes embody extraordinary bravery—answering every call with unwavering dedication.
National First Responders Day reminds us that courage and compassion define the best of America. Every six seconds, someone calls 911, and those calls are met with action and heart. Folds of Honor proudly celebrates these men and women—and the families who stand beside them.
“At a time when division feels constant, this day offers unity,” said Folds of Honor Founder and CEO Lt Col Dan Rooney. “From coast to coast, Americans stand together in gratitude to honor the service and sacrifice of those who keep us safe.”
Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded nearly 73,000 educational scholarships, providing over $340 million in life-changing support to the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders—turning sacrifice into lasting opportunity.
