Hosted at Drumm Farm Golf Club in the best House district in Missouri, it was great to see friends from Professional Firefighters of Independence, KC Fire Fighters, and many others! #moleg

Yesterday, our community hosted the National EMS Memorial Service Moving Honors, a cross-country procession honoring the legacies of 59 EMS workers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their dedication reminds us of the power in serving others. #NEMSMS2023 #moleg
