OLYMPIA For the first time in nine years, Washington’s Medals of Merit and Valor will be awarded today at a ceremony in the state Legislative Building, according to an announcement from the Washington Secretary of State’s office. The Medal of Merit recognizes exceptional individuals who perform outstanding services for Washington and its residents, according to the announcement. The Medal of Valor is awarded to anyone who has saved, or attempted to save, the life of another at the risk of their own safety and is not acting in the course of duty as a Washington police officer, firefighter, or other government-employed first responder. Secretary of State Steve Hobbs will join Governor Jay Inslee, Lieutenant Governor Denny Heck and Chief Justice Steven C. González to posthumously recognize Donnie Chin with the Medal of Valor and Dr. Abe Bergman with the Medal of Merit for their service to Washington state, according to the announcement.
