October 28th was National First Responders Day and while we celebrate the sacrifice and dedication of First Responders year-round this day is extraordinarily special. Events take place across the country honoring firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and countless heroes who are front lines in life threatening situations. This year, Janice was asked to emcee an event in New York City to honor several of the country's finest and bravest. 
 
Featured in this episode are the following heroes:
 
President and CEO of First Responders Children Foundation, Jillian Crane.
 
Assistant EMS Chief Paul Gilmer.
 
Officer Andrew Hamett of Texas' Irving Police Department.
 
Dispatcher Keara Duncomb of the Moore City Police Department in Oklahoma.
