Sergeant Durham honored with Hanna Award...

Here's an item of 'old news' that I forget to include earlier on this blog.

I was on hand at the Oct. 13 George L. Hanna Jr. Memorial Awards for Bravery to present Medford Police Sergeant Edward Durham with a State House Resolution for receiving a Hanna Medal of Valor for saving the life of a 5-week-old baby.

Named for the fallen Mass. State Trooper George Hanna, the awards are presented annually to members of the law enforcement who go above and beyond the call of duty and perform heroic acts of bravery when faced with life and death decisions. Now in their 23rd year, the awards have become a prestigious symbol of service within the commonwealth's public safety community.

My congratulations to Sergeant Durham for recieving this award.
