"The September 11th award is earned by first responders in Middlesex County who demonstrate extraordinary courage, bravery and/or selflessness in a way that is reminiscent of the men and women of law enforcement who were the first to respond on September 11, 2001," reads a press statement from Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone's office.
