inspiring stories of our state's heroes are heard and celebrated for generations to come."

tenure, I have witnessed firsthand the dedication and unwavering commitment exhibited

embody the true spirit of heroism, often risking their own safety to safeguard the lives of
others.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Sen. Norman Sanderson remarked, “The launch of the North Carolina Medal of Valor
