Leader in aftermath of NY terrorist attacks receives
"I Remember 9/11" award

C.B. Garris, author of the upcoming novel "M.O.S. – Member of the
Service," and President and C.E.O. of MOS Inc., received the "I
Remember 9/11" award May 18 in Braintree, Massachusetts.

In accordance with a national campaign of nominees sought out by both
The Journal of Emergency Medical Services and American Medical
Response, Garris was chosen to receive the award for his novel that
pays tribute to the emergency medical technicians and paramedics who
served in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Many of these
individuals were Garris' colleagues.Presenting the "I Remember 9/11"
award to Garris served a second purpose: it celebrated his twenty (20)
years in public safety, seventeen (17) of which he has been a
dedicated emergency medical services professional.

The award also recognized his devotion in the time of crisis following
acts of terrorism in New York City and the spirit he continues to
shine upon this often unrecognized profession. Each May, a week is
designated to honor emergency medical services personnel in the United
States. National EMS Week is the ideal time to recognize how these men
and women make a difference every day in the lives of their fellow
Americans.American Medical Response began the tradition of holding
celebrations that extended to all EMS and other public-safety
professionals in the Northeast.

In the presence of family, friends and dignitaries, the event serves
as the ultimate occasion to honor and reward all public safety
personnel for their dedicated commitment and courage.

The May 18 event drew an audience of hundreds, with the main address
being given by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who also chairs a
committee for the Office of Homeland Security. To learn more about C.B
