We would like to thank the team that came out to our house last. They were amazing with my five year old, who was scared out of her mind. She has never experienced an asthma attack like that before. They were so patience and caring with her. Dennis and Alex were the ones in the ambulance with us and honestly with how backed up STM Hospital was last night her health could have deteriorated quickly. Their fast response saved her life as we were never seen at STM Hospital. WE appreciate you so much.

Thank you Ken for the great tour last week - It was so much to take in and with each turn of the corner there was something else that speaks to the dedication to continue to meet an ever changing world in which we live. We are so very proud to have been part of LPVRS's history - one that continues to strive to excel in its service to the community. Our thoughts and prayers with each and every member; past, present and future.

I am forever grateful for the excellent care I received from the crew that responded to my emergency call 1/31/2020. Their professionalism, knowledge and caring attitude was extremely appreciated.
How fortunate we are to have dedicated
Hero Volunteers. Thank You!!!
Sincerely,
MaryAnn McCloskey

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your response to my 911 call on 18 April. The doctors at the Washington Hospital Center told me that I was alive because of your actions. When I started feeling bad I didn't realize that I was having a heart attack and don't remember some of the details, but was later told that the crew had to revive me twice. Words cannot express my thankfulness that you were able to keep me going. Thank You!

Thank you so much for the response team #389. I could have better care that they took. Very attentive to the detail, knowledgeable, caring and made me feel better before taking me to the hospital. Thank you to Dan, Leanne and Elizabeth. I would like to donate could not find any place in your site where to do it!!!) to the Rescue Squad because what they are doing is something very, very important and needed.

Shawn and Kim, I just wanted to let you both know that I will be unable to attend the services for you grandmother and mom. I have my treatment tomorrow and won't be able to make the service then either.

I just want you both to know what a wonderful lady she was in my eyes. She was certainly a pillar of the squad and through all her hard work she has helped to make it what it is today. I hope your members realize that because sometimes it becomes what have you done for me lately. Dolly was there during the daytime when no one else was and myself as a young fire chief when on the scene with her she had such a calming effect on me. Kind of like my own mother was talking to me. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.

May she rest in peace now with "T" wrapped in the arms of her Lord.

Waverley also sends her deepest condolences.

Thank you so much for the timely response on two recent occasions when Carolyn had serious heart issues. on both occasions the crews responded in a highly professional and compassionate manner. Their care and treatment both in our home and on the way to St. Mary's hospital contributed greatly to her recovery. Thanks for a job well done, Clarence (Cal) Colvin

A big thank you to all the dedicated members of the squad. Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. My son choked last night and while we were lucky and got out the Quarter Before you arrived knowing that help was on the way for our little boy kept me calm. He is doing just fine and I must say how thankful I am that you guys are here to help. Please be safe and my god bless you all.

Merry Christmas to the members of Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad! We hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year!

Thank you for ALL you do EVERYDAY!!

Be Safe!

Jason, Kim & Amanda

Chief Davidson,
I just wanted to express my sincere thanks to three of your members and sorry I only knew two of them by there first names. The gentleman was Tom and the beautiful angel was Rachel. The other young lady was a friend of many, many years and that was Betsy Myers who gave me a wonderful ride to the hospital.
Tom and Rachel in the back were very professional as I'm sure they were trained by some of your best and probably you had your hand in there to. They both talked to me the entire trip while taking vitals and we had a good talk. I told them when asked how long was I in the fire department and I told them this was my 54th year. Only 2nd time I rode in the back and that is o.k. with me. If in a ambulance I want to be sitting up. LOL

I so hope you will give my sincere thanks to all of them and if I can ever do anything to return the favor just let me know.

The Blue and White is a beautiful Sight.

Doug Medley, Past Chief BDVFD

Kim Davidson, his grandson and two other courteous EMS personnel rescued be in front of the California Giant, after i fell. The whole crew was knowledgeable and the care I received was outstanding.

Please share my thanks for their care and concern for me.]

A huge thankyou to the teams that responded so quickly to our call last night. Shawn, the paramedic was awesome and the team were very friendly and reassuring with my family and I.

I belonged to the LPVRS from 1961 to 1967.
Our ambulances were a Ford Station Wagon, 1956 Pontiac Ambulance,
Then a Cadillac and an International Ambulance.

There was a 1956 Cadillac unit we restored, and made one call and was broad sided by a motorcycle and totaled it.

Operational money came from the members going door to door in the County asking for
donations with minimum financial support from the local government.

I still have by Badge!

Happy new year to LPVRS.

On Weds, Nov 18, 2015 at 1:10pm, I suffered my minor stroke in the parking lot of the Lowes Home store. The Rescue Squad crew arrived with 10min of my 911 call. The EMT (a young woman from Australia) was very professional and perfomed all the right procedures that I feel greatly reduced the damage to my brain. This is EMT is extremely competent and I am very Lucky she was working on the Ambulance that day. Thank You LPVRS for such a quick response and transport to St. Mary's Hospital.....

As a Volunteer Assistant Fire & EMS Chief in Stafford VA and volunteer with Virginia Beach EMS (Chicks Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad) who works/commutes to Pax River daily I wanted to say a special THANKS to the volunteers who are on the job daily. It makes me feel good to see the ambulances in and around the area being staffed by a team of dedicated volunteers. The amount of tax dollars you (and your Auxiliary) are saving this community is immeasurable. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.

My Dad Charles J. "Bucky" Garner, first Chief of the Lexington Park Rescue Squad passed away Tuesday morning 21 July 2915

We would like to express our gratitude to the rescue squad personnel who responded to the accident at Rt 235 and Pegg Road on Saturday, June 27. They were kind, caring, and respectful. We felt we were in good hands and trusted their expertise. We are both doing well and we have a great respect for all of our volunteer rescue and fire responders. Thank you for all the great work you do every day as volunteers.

I want to thank you all for your skill and rapid response on March 12 when my son went into anaphylactic shock and full cardiac arrest. He would not be here today, anticipating a full recovery, if it hadn't been for you! From a mother who nearly lost her baby, from a father who had to begin CPR on his son (something no parent should ever have to do), from two brothers who nearly lost the butt of their jokes, from a family who was able to avoid a tragic loss and heartbreak, we thank you!

A great big thank you to the ambulance crew that had to cherry me down my stairs last night on a backboard. They were super professional and worked quickly to get me to someone could ease my pain. Top notch service all around. Great job!!!

Shawn Davidson almost 2 years ago, saved my son's life, he had stopped breathing and Shawn was very well versed in autism and how to handle such. My son lived and was calm, he felt safe and loved, and without Shawn my son might have died.
Thank you Shawn for being so trained in all things autism. My heart goes out to you.

I had my second medical emergency in one month with your help I couldn't breath very good. I do say you were very quick to get there. I was explained what you were doing and why. Everyone both times were very professional caring understanding They answered any question I had even told me things I should have asked. They all took very good care of me and I can't thank them enough.

You All Are The Best

I ran with Station 39 from 1999-2001 when I was stationed at Pax River. I learn a lot not only about being an EMT, but also about what it truly meant to serve the community (non-military). Just wanted to say thank you and to say hello to everyone who I ran with who might still be around.

I 'd like to express my deep gratitude to you all for saving my husband's life, who got a heart attack when driving on the Labor Day afternoon in the Bank of America parking lot, may be you did not know that you not only saved a life but a family. I am sure I could not deal with it without your help. I thought I had lost my husband but thanks to your professional, devoted and wholehearted ,you guys did bring him back to us.
My husband was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He is recovering now. If it had not been for your prompt response we don't think he can make it.
No words can express my gratitude to you. I want to let you know that we will never forget all what you have done to us. I was very impressed with your whole team.
So thank you all once again, and to Mrs. Pat for calming me down and call my husband to check on him when he was in the hospital, to Mr. Dave (sorry I do not know your full name) for taking great care of my little son and bringing him up to the hospital. I could put myself at ease when leaving him with you. My son admires you a lot. You become a pattern that he is going to take.
God Bless you all.

Proud to know Ken Hicks and have know him since the early 1970's via his Brother Harold Hicks The Hicks klan of Oxon Hill MD was something You could not ask for a better president then Ken as he has the right stuff
Just another member of the Hicks family that gives back to the community
daily as a Volunteer in many fields of service that has moved down to the neices and nephews all over the USA

I was with the LPVRS when we had a Ford Modified to be a uinit, and a Pontiac. We bought a 56 Cadillac had it restored and a motorcycle broadside it on its' first night out. It was a good group dedicated to serve the county. I was in the Navy stationed there and left to go to Iceland and other places. Nothing but good memories including going door to door begging for money as the county provided only little money to keep us going!

I was recently on a Southwest flight to Phoenix, and while in flight was flipping through Southwest's "Spirit Magazine", when I came across an article about community outreach (Southwest Airlines employees who in one way or another serve their community). Well for November, the employee, I cant recall his name is a paramedic with your Rescue Squad, which I just thought was awsome!
-Hey it even appears you guys in Southern Maryland do just as great as fire crews in Ogden & Layton (cities I serve!)

Just wanted to say thanks to each and every one of you!!! Every EMS volunteer in America deserves thanks, but you guys deserve double the credit you work "Lexington Park" LOL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND KEEP SAFE!!6
