At the August 7 meeting, a special award ceremony was conducted to honor two Ipswich Police Officers, SGT Jason Monteiro and PTL Pat Carlin.
In 2011, these officers, while on routine patrol at approximately 0100, responded to the report of a 38 year old woman in cardiac arrest in a residence on Linebrook Road. Utilizing their training as First Responders, the officers initiated cardiac resuscitation and a cardiac defibrillator, which resulted in saving the life of the patient.
As part of its' charter, The American Legion recognizes outstanding service and heroism in the Public Safety services.
Approximately 20 Legion Members, 12 civilians including family members and the victim, the Ipswich Chief of Police, news reporter and photographer, were in attendance for the ceremony and refreshments after.
