Honoring Army Staff Sgt. Tyler E. Pickett, he died June 8, 2008 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom of wounds sustained when his unit was attacked by enemy forces using an IED. Pickett was on his second tour in Iraq and had also served in Afghanistan.

His mom said her son came from a family with a history of military service.
“My son’s job was to protect his country, and when you protect your country, you put your life on the line every day; just like a police officer does, just like a fireman does”.

End of Watch: Police Officer Igor Soldo
June 8, 2014

Officer Igor Soldo wore the LVMPD badge with pride and purpose from the day he joined on April 9, 2006. A native of Bosnia, he and his family fled war and resettled in Nebraska, where he would go on to graduate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and become a devoted Cornhuskers fan.

At LVMPD, Soldo served in the Patrol Division and the Problem-Solving Unit at Northeast Area Command. He became a Firearms Instructor in 2008, guiding countless recruits at the range with skill and professionalism. Beyond his police work, he was well-read, thoughtful, and always hungry to learn more about the world.

On June 8, 2014, Officer Soldo and his partner, Officer Alyn Beck, were tragically ambushed and killed in the line of duty. He was just 31 years old. His commitment to this community and to the LVMPD family will never be forgotten.

Corporal Daniel Heller was 20 years old, leading his squad through the jungle near the Laotian border, when the North Vietnamese sprung an ambush. Two of his Marines were badly wounded and lying exposed in the k*ll zone. Heller ran into the fire to reach them, an RPG detonated close enough to shred his face and shoulder.

He kept going. He pulled both men to an aid station, told the corpsman he was fine, and went back. Went straight back at the ambush. Alone. He singlehandedly charged four enemy soldiers and killed all of them. That act broke the enemy's momentum and rallied his squad to drive the NVA from the battlefield.

Corporal Heller was recognized with a Navy Achievement Medal with Valor that day. His fellow Marines believed it wasn't enough. Decades passed. His comrades kept pushing. On August 28, 2024 - 55 years after that ambush Commandant Gen. Eric M. Smith pinned the Navy Cross to the collar of a 76-year-old from Cleves, Ohio.

"I never expected anything," he said at the ceremony. "What I did that day, I didn't do it for a Navy Cross. I was just trying to do my job."

At 12:30 AM on July 11, 2022, Nick Bostic was twenty-five years old and driving through empty streets in Lafayette, Indiana, after an argument with his girlfriend — the kind of night where you need to move and think. Windows down, going nowhere in particular.
Then he saw a small flame coming from a house on Union Street.
He hit the brakes. Reversed. Pulled into the driveway. He had no phone with him. He tried to flag down a passing car. Nobody stopped. He ran to the back door and started yelling: is anybody home? Is anybody in there?
Halfway up the stairs he found them — four people: an eighteen-year-old woman named Seionna Barrett carrying a twenty-month-old baby, and two thirteen-year-old girls behind her, terrified and confused. He led them out the back door and into the yard.
Four people safe.
Then Seionna started looking around frantically. Her face went pale.
I can't find Kaylani. Her six-year-old sister. Still inside.
The fire had spread. Flames were visible from multiple windows. Black smoke poured out. Nick looked back at the house and ran back in.
He searched room by room, calling for Kaylani. The smoke was pitch black — he could not see his own hand. The heat was overwhelming. He considered jumping from a window while he still could.
Then he heard crying. A child. Downstairs. In the living room. The worst part of the fire.
He wrapped his shirt around his face and ran toward the sound. He dropped to his hands and knees and crawled through the smoke until he found her. Kaylani Barrett. Six years old. Alone in the darkness.
Going back downstairs was no longer possible. His only option was up — back upstairs, find a window, jump. He carried Kaylani to a bedroom and punched through the glass with his bare fist. Blood ran down his arm. Her leg became tangled in the window blind cord. He forced himself to stay calm, carefully untangled her while the house burned around them.
He positioned Kaylani on his left side, himself on his right, and jumped from the second floor.
He hit the ground hard. A deep laceration on his right arm. Burns across his body. Smoke inhalation that would put him on a ventilator for three days. Lafayette police officers arrived just as he landed — their body cameras captured him stumbling forward, handing Kaylani to them, collapsing on the curb, asking one question over and over:
Is the baby OK? Please tell me the baby is OK.
Kaylani had a small cut on her foot from the glass. All five people were alive.
Nick was airlifted to Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis in critical condition. Doctors were not certain he would survive. Three days later he was released. His lungs were still damaged. His arm was heavily bandaged. He was alive.
He did not want to be called a hero. He told reporters he was just doing what anyone would do — that if he were the one trapped he would be hoping the driver passing by would consider doing the same.
In May 2024, nearly two years after the fire, Nick Bostic received the Carnegie Medal — the highest civilian honor for heroism in the United States and Canada, awarded since 1904 to those who enter extreme danger to save others. Of the more than 120 years the medal has been awarded, only 10,355 people have received it.
Kaylani Barrett is eight years old now. She calls Nick her guardian angel.
He still lives in Lafayette. Still drives past houses. When asked about that night, he always says the same thing: it was all worth it.

For those thinking about what Nick Bostic's decision — to go back inside when he had already done more than anyone could ask — shows about where genuine courage comes from: what does his question from the curb, is the baby OK, show you about what was actually driving him through that burning house?

US Secret Service Agent and Marine Reservist Thomas Armas carries a woman out of rubble after the South Tower of the WTC collapsed. Thomas Armas enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating from Northwestern University in 1992. He commisioned as an Infantry Officer in 1994 and at the end of his obligated service, entered the USMCR. He became a Special Agent with the USSS and was posted to the New York office at WTC-7.

Early on the morning of 11 September 2001, Special Agent Thomas Armas was in the gym at World Trade Center, when he heard the plane hit the first tower. After being ordered to evacuate the building, Armas stood outside where he saw the gaping, smoking hole in the North Tower. He and other agents from the Secret Service office retrieved their medical kits and entered the North Tower, eventually reaching the 40th floor. They treated the injured and evacuated the floors as they made their way down the tower. Upon reaching the mezzanine, they heard the South Tower collapse and were partially buried in rubble.

The woman Armas is shown carrying here was so badly burned that "if you touched her, she would scream," he remembers. She had come out of the elevator and was wandering dazed around the northwest corner of the North Tower when Armas picked her up and carried her to an ambulance.

This is the woman who started the trend of having Black people call Chinese restaurants to place orders and never pick them up in retaliation to Rick Chow being acquitted.

She works for Hewlett-Packard.

Do you think we should call Hewlett Packard, and ask them how they feel?

Honoring Marine Lance Cpl. Jeremy L. Bohlman he died June 7, 2004 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom by hostile fire in Anbar province, Iraq.

Bill Hoff, said he knew Bohlman well because the student would stop by his office to visit with him. “He was a nice kid. I enjoyed talking to him. He was personable and had a good heart,” Hoff said.
Hoff said it’s hard to believe a student he knew so well would die in Iraq. “It brings home the reality of what we are involved in. You know you remember a kid like that as a ‘kid’ as just an innocent kid, so it’s just hard to kind of imagine this kind of circumstance.”

“Remember Jeremy as a hero, and how proud he was to serve his country,” his uncle, Mike Stoakes, said in his eulogy.
