The Prince William Chamber of Commerce presented the 29th annual Prince William Valor Awards. The awards intend to honor the fire rescue and police in the region’s three jurisdictions – Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park.
Prince William Chamber of Commerce President Debbie Jones said that a thriving community depends on the people laying down their lives to protect it.
“They truly just make the county a better place, with a higher quality of life,” she said.
Jones said that many of the people at the Valor awards were business owners who wanted the chance to thank police and firefighters for their service.
“They are making a better place to raise a family and have a business,” said Jones.
Jones said that they’re looking into increasing the size of the venue so that more businesses can come and show their support.
Eric Tatum of Dominion Virginia Power was the “quality of life vision” partner.
“It is an honor to be one of the sponsors for this event. We thank you for running towards trouble and not away from it,” Tatum said at the event.
The presentation was narrated by voiceover artist Noelle Stanley, who presented each award by telling the stories of each firefighter and policeman who were receiving awards.
Twenty one men and women were awarded Valor awards for their services, which included anything from investigating and solving murders, to putting out life-threatening fires while off duty.
Stephen Porter of the Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center was the master of ceremonies and described those receiving awards as being remarkable and selfless.
“Through these awards we celebrate the men and women who protect us with their acts of valor while many of them will say they are just doing their jobs,” said Porter.
