American Red Cross 2009 Arkansas Hero Award

Today my little brother, Lance, was awarded the 2009 Arkansas Hero Award. He, along with 3 other fellow firefighters were honored for their bravery in a rescue that saved the life of one of their Captains. I could not be more proud!! What an honor, and he really is so deserving. Lance is a wonderful man, and I am just so happy for him that I had to brag a little!

This is the plaque that he received from the Red Cross.

All the guys in uniform are the firefighters that were honored. The man in the center is the Captain that was rescued. He was so appreciative to these guys and had wonderful things to say about all of them. A very deserving group!

What a wonderful day! It was really nice to celebrate with all of the guys from Lance's station. We are so proud of Lance!!
