The 16th Annual National EMS Service recently was held in Roanoke, VA. Carilion Clinic Life-Guard was once again proud to participate in this event to honor our EMS brothers and sisters who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Carilion Clinic Life-Guard 10 provided a flyover for the finish of the EMS Memorial Bike Ride on Friday evening. Nearly 100 cyclists made the grueling, but inspired ride from one of three different starting points: NYC, Kentucky, and Louisiana. Our own CCPT Giles member, James Lee, made the complete ride for the second consecutive year from NYC! Read more about the EMS Memorial Bike Ride here.
The actual Memorial Service took place on Saturday evening. Both Carilion Clinic Life-Guard 10 and 11 provided a flyover for the end of the service. See pictures from the event below. The National Service will return to the Roanoke area for one final time on May 23, 2009, before it moves to its new location in Colorado Springs.
