Guardians,
AST2 Abram Heller has received wide recognition for his rescue of 8 crew members from the fish processing vessel ALASKA RANGER. However, last night he was received the prestigious Bravery Award from the International Maritime Organization here in London. Petty Officer Heller was recognized along with Maurice and Sophie Conti who were the subject of an earlier post.
The response from the 169 countries in attendance was overwhelming and he was besieged by well wishers at the following reception . We continue to be proud of Petty Officer Heller and the recognition he has received.
