Stuttgart High School senior, Jeremy Morant, was recently awarded the American Legion Auxiliary Youth Hero Award through Daniel Harder Unit 48 in Stuttgart, AR.
Morant noticed that a fellow classmate was choking and he sprang into action to perform a lifesaving act. His act of heroism resulted in the Children & Youth Chairman at Unit 48 nominating him for this well-deserved award.
The Youth Hero Award is presented to youth under the age of 18 who perform a physical act of valor. Winners of the Youth Hero Award receive a medal and a certificate and “May be a Junior Auxiliary member or someone eligible for membership, but eligibility is not a criterion for consideration; demonstrates a physical act of valor (Heimlich, CPR, first aid, rescuing from fire or water peril); serves as an inspirational role model for the organization and the community.” https://www.legion-aux.org/youth-hero-good-deed-awards
