Our November meeting was exceptionally busy. It was our honor , at this meeting, to present the SAR Life Saving Award to Annmarie Sanchez. During the record breaking rains of November 2nd, Ms. Sanchez rescued a gentleman (Bill) who had become trapped in his vehicle and would have surely drowned had it not been for her quick response and disregard for her personal safety.
The SAR Life Saving Medal is presented to those individuals who have acted to save a human life without necessarily placing their own life or themselves in imminent danger. The medal is intended primarily for acts by civilians not in uniform, however, police officers, fire fighters, emergency medical personal, lifeguards, and SAR Compatriots are not excluded from receiving this award. The medal is not intended to recognize acts that would otherwise qualify for military or another organization’s valor and, in all cases, the fact that the actions of the rescuer actually saved the life of the victim must be validated by EMS or medical personnel.
