Brave Like No Other
Justin spoke about the entire experience after the initial shock wore off. He said, “I was scared because I didn’t know whether the car was going to blow up in that instant,” he said. “I grabbed the baby and the two little girls out of the car and I helped her out of the car.” Hours later, when he was being presented with the challenge coin, the Chief of Police had more to say about the heroic teen.
Token Of Appreciation
“I hope that when you have that coin it just reminds you of this day and you can reflect back on all the good that came out of this for you and that family you saved,” the Chief of Police went on. It turns out that this whole ordeal has long-lasting effects for everyone, not just the family involved. As a matter of fact, the parking lot where the car burned still has charred remains to this day. Additionally, Justin’s life changed as a result of the event.
