    NEWTOWN- Rep. Mitch Bolinsky attended a special award ceremony for the Heroes of Sandy Hook Elementary School on Monday, May 6, 2013.

    The ceremony honored the six educators killed protecting their students during the Sandy Hook School shooting, and the teachers and staff who shielded their students, and presented them with Congressional Medal of Honor Society Citizen Honors Medals for their bravery and heroism.

    Nominations for the Citizen Service Before Self Honors Award, sponsored by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, to recognize the valor and selflessness of the teachers and staff at Sandy Hook School were numerous when collected at the end of December.

    When judging was completed, General Herbert L. Wilkerson (US Marine Corps, retired) said there was a unanimous idea between the judges to make an effort to visit Sandy Hook to present the families of those lost and the teachers and staff who did their part to shield students on 12/14 with a ceremony.

    At the ceremony on Monday, Gen Wilkerson welcomed all in attendance and explained four Medal of Honor recipients — Paul W. Bucha, Bruce P. Crandal, Jack H. Jacobs, and Thomas G. Kelley — were there to present the honors.
