During a recent government meeting, the Shawnee Heights community came together to honor Ethan Jamieson and his father, John Jamieson, for their heroic actions on the night of September 28th. While returning home from a Homecoming dance, the duo encountered an elderly man in dire need of medical assistance. Without hesitation, they called 911 and remained with the man until emergency services arrived, a decision that potentially saved his life.

The elderly gentleman had crawled from his home to the roadside after suffering a serious injury, having tripped over a tray inside his house. He was found with a trash bag wrapped around his leg to stem the bleeding. Paramedics later confirmed that had the Jamiesons not intervened, the man likely would not have survived.

The meeting highlighted the importance of community compassion and vigilance, with officials expressing pride in families like the Jamiesons who exemplify these values. The recognition served as a reminder of the impact that quick thinking and kindness can have in critical situations. The community extended its gratitude to the Jamiesons for their selfless act, reinforcing the message that every individual can make a difference.
