They save lives and serve our community every day, but
sometimes the services of police, firemen and EMS personnel are taken for
granted. So to recognize what they do
for us, the Metropolitan Lubbock Rotary Club and American State Bank co-hosted
the annual Unsung Heroes Award Recognition Ceremony Thursday night at the American
State Bank conference center.
This year's recipients of the Unsung Heroes Awards include Sgt.
Jack Mitchell III, Lubbock Sheriff's
Office; Lt. Gordon Haynes , Lubbock Fire Department ; Asst. Shift Chief Brian
Payne, University Medical Center EMS;
and Officer Zack Johnson, Lubbock Police Department. Each individual was
selected by their peers in their respective organizations.
This is the ninth year for the event. The idea to host it
came after the horrific events of 9-11 and the heroic actions of the first
responders in New York City.
