13 police officers recognized with Medal of Valor by President Obama

President Obama honored 13 police officers who performed extraordinary acts of bravery. Each officer was awarded the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor 🎖 These officers had gone through a range of situations: Some had suffered stab wounds or burn wounds. Others had defused tense hostage situations to protect members of their communities. They hailed
from large and small #police departments across the country, and the situations they experienced required a high amount of discipline, calm, concentration and more. "...if it had not been for their bravery, we likely would have lost a lot of people -- mothers,  fathers, sons, daughters, friends and loved ones. They did it instinctively. This is an award that none of them sought. If they could go back in time, I suspect they’d prefer none of this had happened," Obama said. What's your take on this?
