Civilian Heroes

The Congressional Medal of Honor foundation has just announced the 2013 Finalists for the Citizen Service Before Self Honors @ 2013 Finalists

The finalists range from a 6-year-old boy to a 91-year-old man, and their heroic acts took many forms—daring water rescues, fires rescues, a lifesaving organ transplant, and a foiled kidnapping, are just a few of the stories. Although heroic acts occurred across the nation, this year’s finalists hail from 13 states; California topped the list with five hero finalists. Three of the heroes recognized are New York residents, with all assisting in Hurricane Sandy rescues or relief efforts.

It's nice to see this kind of recognition.
