Biden gave the award to the 2020 and 2021 classes after the COVID-19 pandemic postponed both ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>The Medal of Valor is the highest honor a public safety officer can receive for performing acts of heroism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cToday is an important day for the nation to give thanks for all that you do for everybody, for all of us,\u201d Biden said. \u201cBecause of COVID-19 we couldn\u2019t have this special ceremony for the past two years, but I\u2019m honored that we finally can today. Fifteen public safety officers from eight different departments with a Medal of Valor, the highest award a president can bestow on a public safety officer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The recipients of the award included nine police officers and six fire fighters. One recipient was a North Carolina police officer who tragically passed away after saving a woman during a hostage situation in a busy retail area.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou\u2019re the heart and soul and the very spine, very spine of this country and your communities,\u201d he proclaimed. \u201cEach one of you from small town departments to big cities, you\u2019re cut from the same cloth. You possess a selflessness that\u2019s really hard to explain. A rare commitment to your neighbors and your fellow Americans, an unusual bravery that inspires everyone and you\u2019ve been singled out because of your extraordinary heroism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, I awarded the Medal of Valor to 15 public safety officers \u2013 including two who died in the line of duty. These heroes represent the best of who we are as Americans \u2013 and these medals reflect the profound gratitude of our nation. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4DS4VNb7tL\">pic.twitter.com\/4DS4VNb7tL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 President Biden (@POTUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1526363196281524226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden ended the ceremony by paying tribute to a retired Buffalo police officer who was killed during a mass shooting incident, which left 10 people dead and three others injured.
