🎖️
Veterans
Those who served our nation in uniform. River City honors every man and woman who put on the uniform and answered the call.
🇺🇸 River City
Heroes
Dedicated to the men and women who serve our community — in uniform, in scrubs, in dispatch centers, and in the quiet corners of everyday life where heroes rarely seek recognition.
— From a fellow Marine, DJ Kenny, Founder of River City Media Group
Those Who Serve
Eight Categories of Heroes
⚔️
Active Military
The men and women currently serving in the United States Armed Forces — away from home, protecting the freedoms we enjoy every day.
👮
Law Enforcement
Spokane Police, Coeur d'Alene Police, Spokane County Sheriff, and every officer keeping our communities safe.
🚒
Firefighters
From Spokane Fire to rural volunteer departments — the men and women who run toward danger so others can run away.
🚑
EMS & Paramedics
First on scene, calm under pressure — the paramedics and EMTs who make the difference between life and death.
🔍
Search & Rescue
Volunteers who spend their weekends training so they're ready when someone needs to be found. Unsung heroes of the Inland Northwest.
📻
Dispatchers
The calm voice on the other end of 911 — coordinating every emergency response, often forgotten but never unimportant.
🌟
Community Heroes
Teachers, nurses, volunteers, coaches, mentors — everyday people who make the Inland Northwest a better place simply by showing up.
Community Partner
