Sons of the American Revolution present medals of commendation

Members of the Sons of the American Revolution presented medals of commendation to three Shelby County citizens during their Nov. 21 meeting. The presentation, hosted by the Cahaba-Coosa SAR Chapter meeting at the North Shelby Library, included the fire safety commendation medal and certificate, law enforcement commendation medal and certificate and the bronze good citizenship medal and certificate.

Medals are typically presented to members of SAR, said Bobby Joe Seales, but these three medals are used to recognize outstanding members of the community.

Pelham City Fire Department Capt. Christopher Carpenter received the fire safety commendation; Shelby County Sheriff John Samaniego received the law enforcement commendation; and former Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry received the bronze good citizenship medal.
