The National Liberty Museum presented 15 Awards of Valor to police officers and firefighters in the Greater Philadelphia area  in the Museum’s Liberty Hall.  Now in its 14th season, the Awards of Valor sponsored by your local Chevrolet Dealers, honors extraordinary police officers and firefighters for their remarkable acts of heroism and for being role models in their communities.

“The Awards of Valor recipients have stories that are gripping and inspiring, representing the very best of what the Museum considers ‘everyday heroes’,” said Gwen Borowsky, Executive Director of the National Liberty Museum.  “This Award recognizes the brave individuals who selflessly and unhesitatingly put themselves in dangerous situations to keep all in the community safe.  They are an inspiration to everyone in law enforcement and in the communities they serve.”
