Chapter President Edmund Davidson awarded Craigsville VA Officer Corey Wood with the SAR Life Saving Medal on August 6 at the Craigsville Town Hall (see photo below)..

On June 6, 2020, Officer Wood, on his own, searched for and rescued two children from a car that had plummeted into a ravine. Tragically, the mother of the two children did not survive the accident.

This was a remarkable effort by this young man, on his own to walk those backroads until he found the kids about 18 hours later.

Without his efforts those children would probably not be alive today.

I have a copy of the photo of Chief Corey Wood with the two children in his arms, but no way to post it.
