全国急救人员日10月28日举行：Times Square将办英雄点名仪式 表彰各地急救人员
10 月 28 日是全国急救人员日（National First Responders Day），用以表彰消防员、警察、急救员、护理员与调度员等在紧急时刻最先抵达现场的公共安全人员。美国国会曾通过决议，将每年的 10 月 28 日定为这一全国性纪念日；与分别致敬单一职业的纪念日不同，这一天面向全体急救人员。
今年的全国仪式由急救人员儿童基金会（First Responders Children's Foundation）主办，将于 10 月 28 日在纽约 Times Square 举行「英雄点名」（Roll Call of Heroes）典礼，由 T-Mobile 担任主办合作方。2026 年适逢该基金会成立 25 周年，仪式今年迎来一项新做法：首次向公众开放提名，提名已于 7 月 31 日截止，入选者将在仪式上接受表彰。
基金会主席兼首席执行官 Jillian Crane 表示，今年既是基金会成立 25 周年，也是 9·11 事件 25 周年与美国建国 250 周年临近之时，是全美民众向日夜守护社区的急救人员表达敬意的时刻。基金会是全国唯一专门服务急救人员子女与家庭的非营利机构。
除纽约的主仪式外，全美各地社区、学校与公共机构每年在这一天前后都会举办致敬活动，向本地消防、警务与急救部门人员表达感谢。
National First Responders Day Falls on October 28: Times Square to Host Roll Call of Heroes Ceremony
October 28 is National First Responders Day, the annual observance honoring the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics and dispatchers who are first on the scene in an emergency. Congress designated October 28 as the national day of recognition through resolutions passed in recent years; unlike observances devoted to a single profession, the day covers all first responders collectively.
This year's national ceremony, the Roll Call of Heroes, will be hosted by the First Responders Children's Foundation and presented by T-Mobile in New York's Times Square on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The foundation, the only national nonprofit dedicated to serving the children and families of first responders, marks its 25th anniversary this year, and for the first time it opened nominations to the public earlier this year; nominations closed on July 31, and the selected honorees will be recognized at the ceremony for the extraordinary impact in their communities over the past twelve months.
"As First Responders Children's Foundation marks our 25th anniversary, and as our nation prepares to honor both the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and America's 250th birthday, this is a moment for all Americans to recognize the heroes who serve their communities every day," said foundation president and CEO Jillian Crane.
Beyond the Times Square ceremony, communities, schools and public agencies across the United States hold tributes around the day each year to thank local fire, police and emergency medical personnel.
