Honoring Metro Aviation – EMS Week 2025
In following up our last post yesterday, We felt that during EMS Week we thank those who believe in the importance of our goal to build Legends Park in Honor of our EMS brothers and Sisters who we have lost in the line of duty
The Metro Aviation family Based in Shreveport, Louisiana https://www.metroaviation.com/ https://www.facebook.com/MetroAviation who is no stranger to being a huge part of the Emergency Medical Services as everything they do is all about #safety and saving lives.
Sadly, they also know the heart breaking feeling of losing EMS crews in the line of duty and still, you can count on them to be there when you need them.
Metro Aviation was incorporated in 1982 as a helicopter charter, flight training and maintenance operation. Their entry into the air medical service business came in November 1983 with two used Hughes 500-D model helicopters, when Metro Aviation entered into a long-term agreement to provide helicopter ambulance service for Schumpert Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Metro Aviation now has air medical transport operations throughout the United States. The Metro Aviation logo will be placed on our Recognition of Contribution wall in legends park honoring our corporate sponsors.
Earlier this year Metro Aviation made a very generous donation to our Foundation to cover the complete design , creation and publishing of our webpage at https://www.mtemsmemorialfoundation.org on this special week we wanted to Thank you Metro Aviation for your generous donation, we could not have done it without you.

Inspiring the Next Generation of EMS Heroes
Montana’s young people are watching — and what they see in today’s EMS workers might shape their future. That’s why education is at the heart of Legends Park. From EMS themed playgrounds to real ambulances on display, the park is being designed as an interactive, inspiring space where kids can dream of one day becoming lifesavers themselves.
Programs are being developed in partnership with schools, EMT trainers, and volunteers to make sure children can not only play, but learn. With scholarships already in place for the children of fallen medics, the Montana EMS Memorial Foundation is committed to building futures, not just remembering the past.
When we build Legends Park, we aren’t just honoring the dead — we’re empowering the living.
