2016 EMS Memorial Ceremony :
A moving tribute to four fallen fellow providers and to all Iowa EMS Providers
The Ceremony was held at the EMS Memorial in West Des Moines at Station #19, located at 8055 Mills Civic Parkway on May 14, 2016.

It was a cold and windy Iowa day for our ceremony. We honored some very special EMS heros on Saturday. Our 2016 Honorees are, Douglas J. Butzier, M.D., Annette M. Hird, Dennis I. Mallory, D.O., Brian S. Seymour.

We are always impressed with the speakers at this beautiful tribute to our faithful Iowa EMS servants, but this year was exceptional. Our Iowa Rep. Zach Nunn, Iowa House Representative, House District 30, Rebecca Curtiss, Bureau Chief-Emergency and Trauma Services, Iowa Department of Public , and Heather Maier, RN, CCRN, CEN, Mission: Lifeline Director - Iowa, were simply outstanding. The message resonated deeply with family and friends of the honorees and all EMS providers.

A special thanks to AirCare2: Waterloo, Unity Point Health Life Flight and Mercy One: Des Moines for their closing ceremony fly-over. AirCare is flys out of the hospital that one of our honorees Annette Hird worked many years at and was working on her flight nurse credentials. This is a very emotional and special part of this ceremony. We are grateful these programs agree to do this year after year.

Indianola FD Honor Guard tribute and presentation of the colors - the symbol of the community the honorees, served and sacrificed so much for - was solemn and reverent. One of this year's honorees, Brian Seymour, was a Fire/Medic at Indianola Fire. Indeed, a beautiful and personal tribute to him as well.

If you've never attended this ceremony - I highly recommend it - it's a tribute to all EMS providers!

Special Thanks to West Des Moines EMS for hosting this event each year.
