From the Office of Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett

Members of the Austin-Travis County EMS met with Congressman Lloyd Doggett during a stop in Washington on the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride. Austin-Travis EMS joined paramedics from across the Nation in a 7-day, 600-mile memorial bike ride in honor of paramedics and first responders who have died in the line of duty. Austin-Travis EMS rode in honor of Eric C. Hanson, a paramedic for Marble Falls EMS, who died in the line of duty in October 2006. Congressman Doggett, whose recent bike accident resulted in a trip to the emergency room, said “As both a supporter and a recent patient of Austin-Travis EMS, I can attest to the skill and professionalism of our paramedics and first responders, and will continue to support their efforts to uphold the health and safety of our community.” (L-R, Mark Hawkins, Geoff Winslow, Congressman Lloyd Doggett, Susan Erwin, T.J.
