A friend of mine has just come back from a job as a solo responder.

A small child was choking on a bone, he managed to clear the child's airway so the child didn't choke to death.

I let him know that I was impressed with the way that he saved the child's life, without him being there the child would have died.

"You've worked for your paypacket today", I told him.

He didn't seem too impressed with me noticing this, saying that, "It was nothing".

So - consider this 'being mentioned in Dispatches'.

Top bloke.
