This resolution recognizes and honors the nominees for the Medal of Valor, which is awarded to first responders who demonstrate exceptional bravery and selflessness in their duties. The nominees include Captain Donald Lawson of the New Martinsville Police Department and Darrell Lambert, a volunteer firefighter from Lake. Captain Lawson is commended for his heroic actions during a welfare check, where he rescued two individuals from a residence filled with carbon monoxide, risking his own life in the process. Similarly, Firefighter Lambert is acknowledged for his courageous response to a house fire, where he entered the burning building without protective gear to save a trapped victim, sustaining injuries in the process.

The West Virginia Legislature expresses its admiration for the bravery exhibited by both nominees and resolves to award them the Medal of Valor in recognition of their extraordinary efforts to protect human life, often at great personal risk. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy to Governor Patrick Morrisey, ensuring that the commendation is formally acknowledged at the state level.
