Medal of Valor 2009

 The
Vocational Education and Extension Board has issued the
Medal of Valor to eight firefighters who have placed
their lives in extreme jeopardy, above and beyond
the normal expectations of a firefighter. The Medal of
Valor recognizes the expertise and extraordinary bravery
of our firefighters. These medals honor them for doing
what firefighters do naturally. Their
training, experience and bravery all play a role in what
sometimes comes down to a life or death situation.
