Saving children a courageous act

TO THE EDITOR:

I would like to publicly commend Lt. John Hollandsworth, patrolman Mike Hainey and the unidentified Hispanic man who rescued the three small children from the house fire on Hardaway Street Sunday morning.

The children surely would have perished if it had not been for the heroic efforts of these men. You all three have my vote for the Hero of the Year Award.
Sincerely,
Glenda S. Young
