A LEGACY BORN OF SACRIFICE
Wisconsin EMS Honor Guard Association
❦ ═════════════════ ❦
At the close of 2002, Wisconsin EMS mourned one of its own.
A devoted paramedic answered the Final Call, and in that solemn hour there was grief, respect, and sacrifice—but there was no formal Honor Guard to stand watch over one who had faithfully stood watch for others.
From that silence arose a promise.
A handful of EMS professionals united with a single purpose: that no Emergency Medical Services provider would ever again leave this world without the honor, dignity, and ceremonial respect earned through a life of service.
From humble beginnings grew a statewide brotherhood and sisterhood founded upon duty, discipline, compassion, and remembrance.
Through countless hours of training, unwavering commitment, and steadfast resolve, traditions were forged, standards established, and a legacy created.
Today, the Wisconsin EMS Honor Guard Association stands beside families in their darkest hours, honoring those who dedicated their lives to serving others.
For every folded flag, every measured step, every solemn salute, and every final watch, we renew the promise first made more than two decades ago:
~ No Provider Forgotten.
No Family Alone.
No Sacrifice Unrecognized.~
What began in sorrow now stands in strength.
What began with loss now lives as legacy.
The Watch Continues. The Honor Remains. The Story Continues.
Respectfully Dedicated,
Craig A. Nelson, Paramedic
Commander
Wisconsin EMS Honor Guard Association
