Oilville, Virginia - The National EMS Memorial Service today released
the names of the 16 individuals to be honored at the 2007 National EMS
Memorial Service to be held Saturday, May 26 in Roanoke Virginia.

The National EMS Memorial Service has, since 1992, been honoring those EMS providers who have given their lives in the line of duty.  The  16 individuals being honored this year join 334 others previously honored by the National EMS Memorial Service.

Each year, at a service held in Roanoke, members of the honoree's
families are presented with a medallion, symbolizing eternal memory; a
U.S. Flag which has flown over the Nation's Capital, symbolizing service
to the country; and a White Rose, symbolizing their undying love.

The 2007 National EMS Memorial Service will be conducted at the First
Baptist Church of Roanoke, Roanoke, Virginia.

In addition to the presentations made during the Service, each honoree's name is engraved on a bronze oak leaf which is added to the "Tree of Life," the Permanent Memorial
