Denver (October 31, 2011) – On October 14th, the El Jebel Shrine, a Denver Metro-based arm of Shriners International, hosted their Fifth Annual Honor Breakfast to recognize military, law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel around the State.  Two of the honorees are paramedics with Rural/Metro-Pridemark Ambulance.

Paramedic Chris Chawula and Paramedic Erin Martin received an award certificate, medal, and honors at the event.  The introduction for the nominations read:  "The work life of a paramedic is not an easy one.  It takes a special person to be effective at such a career.  By nature, it is a profession for the strong-willed and compassionate.  Paramedics are the first to render aid when the ill or injured call.  They are the first to comfort in times of need.  Their work affects lives and they make a difference.  The hours are long and tiring.  The patient cases are challenging, yet rewarding.  Sometimes, they don't hear 'thank you.'  Today, we are here to say 'thank you' to two paramedics who shine in their own ways."
