"Medal of Valor awarded to heroic first responders by President Biden"

President Biden awarded the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor to six individuals, including two NYPD officers who were murdered while responding to a domestic call in East Harlem last year. The medal was also awarded to a detective who fatally shot the perpetrator, an FDNY lieutenant who rescued a newborn from a burning house, a firefighter who saved a man trapped under a capsized vessel, and a retired lieutenant who saved a man swept into a storm tunnel. Biden praised the recipients for their bravery and heroism in risking their lives to save others.
