Two Edmontians and a Leduc man are among dozens of Canadians to receive a medal from the Governor General of Canada for their bravery.
The Decorations for Bravery medals are given to people who are described as “everyday heroes.”
“The individuals recognized by these decorations are those who have risked their lives and chose to defy their own instinct of survival to try and save a loved one or perfect stranger whose life was in immediate danger,” the Governor General of Canada’s website says.
Cpl. Devon John Graystone
In 2002, Cpl. Devon John Graystone put his own safety at risk by stopping an attacker with a knife at a gas station in Edmonton.
He saw a fight breakout between the attendant and a man with the knife. He didn’t hesitate to disarm and restrain the attacker while telling the attending to call 911. He was able to hold the man until police arrived.
