Today, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice protects the freedoms we enjoy every day, and we are humbled by their courage.

As you gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, we invite you to take a quiet moment to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and the families who carry their memory forward.

From Crawford County Emergency Management, we remain committed to serving our community in a way that reflects the values they died defending—service, resilience, and care for one another.

We remember. 🇺🇸

Who better to be late to Police Week and EMS Week than Emergency Management – the folks who always show up after the incident? Or in this case, the celebration!

Seriously though, we couldn’t do our job without the deputies, officers, EMTs, and paramedics who continuously answer the call.

Crawford County Emergency Management is proud to work with you, plan with you, and occasionally post about you a little behind schedule. Thank you for all you do to keep Crawford County safe!
