award
for
physician
without
standing
contribution
to
EMS
for
his
groundbreaking
work
in
tactical
emergency
casualty
care
specifically,
he
was
recognized
for
until
help
arrives,
a
program
that
teaches
citizens
how
to
react
and

during
an
emergency
until.
B
Before
we
get
there
again
and
again
and
again,
what
we
see
now
is
that
citizens
are
will
they're
there
they're
there
when
we're
not
right
that
they,
there
they're
willing
to
help
we've
seen
it.
You
know,
and
what
we
know
now
and
we're
seeing
it
is
that
if
with
a
little
training
and
a
little
empowerment,
citizens
will
act
and
they
will
save
lives
at
the
end
of
the
day.
B
What
we're
doing
is
empowering
our
citizens
and
there
is
never
anything
wrong
with
empowering
our
citizens
and
in
really
letting
them
know
that
they
are
part
of
the
team
they're
part
of
the
solution.
You
know
with
a
little
bit
of
training,
with
a
little
bit
of
impetus,
we
can
improve
survival,
we
can
make
a
change,
I
mean
the
future
of
the
program
and
the
uphill
climb
is:
how
do
we
receive
those
programs
in
the
neighborhoods
and
in
the
schools?
And
how
do
we
get
the
schools?
