The Prince William County Chamber of Commerce held its 38th Annual Valor Awards hosted by Julianna Valencia from WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., celebrating the bravery and dedication of police, fire, and rescue workers.
More than 240 first responders from Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park were recognized for their life-saving actions and courageous service. Their respective chiefs nominated them, and a committee of peers and business community members selected them.
