No one is in Police, Fire, EMS or the Military for awards and commendations. We do it because it is what it is expected of us. Sure some recognition is nice, but when is it just too much?

This week is EMS week and your pals at WYE stocked your local EMS break room with 4 LOCOs and pamphlets about other agencies hiring in the area. But really, what does a week of recognition mean? Awards? Medals? Lunch? Do they matter?

This week the guys ask what is it really all about and why is it always Scott and Gary gunning for the big award this month/year/etc, and not the folks actually making a difference.

While your hosts have their own accolades to hang on the wall, they discuss the importance of recognition but also the risk of over rewarding mediocrity.

Then they're off for their own recognition, a 36-hour stint away from the families at the Strawberry Bluegrass Music Festival.

This week we ponder:

  • Why does Scott always seem to be getting awards and medals?
  • Is it OK to avoid the recognition or should we lean into it?
  • Have your hosts ever earned a medal?
  • What is a Dadberry?
