Today is #NationalFirstRespondersDay, and the NC Chamber is proud to recognize the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers who show up for North Carolina communities every single day. Their service, and the families who stand behind them, make our state stronger.
On National First Responders Day, we honor the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities.

The Department of Justice is grateful for their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to keeping Americans safe.

North Carolina has the assets to lead in defense technology and advanced manufacturing, but the state is not yet capturing its full share of the opportunity. At a time when the United States is investing heavily in military modernization, reshoring supply chains, and strengthening the defense industrial base, states that move with speed and alignment will win. ncchamber.com/first-in-defen…
