My son's BIL Tim is going to be awarded the Medal of Valor in Austin, on June 12th for his actions in rescuing the resident from that burning dwelling.

Tell him I said, good job!

I will, but if I know Tim, he'll probably just say "awe shucks" and wander off". He's a pretty self-effacing guy.

Thank God for those that are willing to risk themselves to serve others.

It's good these stories get out there as it's too easy to just focus on the bad stories.

Exactly. For all the talk about abuse of power, militarization, no-knock warrants, SWAT-ing, dog-shooting, etc., we need to be reminded that the majority of cops are doing a very good job, and doing it selflessly.

Officer Tim Whitley is my son's brother in law. He's married to my daughter in law's sister. He thankfully did not get burned, although he did cut his arm up on the window glass while trying to rescue the man inside his burning home.

Way to go Tim!
