Cerificate for Meritorious Conduct

Nick Chunys

While attending a qualifying test at a target range, a fellow participant accidentally shot himself in the leg. When the bullet struck the concrete floor it splintered, injuring Nick and the Range Master. Without hesitation, Nick immediately provided proper first aid to the gunshot victim, and kept the man calm and comfortable until the Paramedics arrived, before taking care of his own injury.

While returning to the Anglin Lake Camp, these Corps members were following a family towing a camper trailer and a boat trailer. The boat trailer suspension literally fell apart while travelling around a blind corner on a narrow secondary highway, almost causing an accident. After checking to make sure everyone was ok, the Corps members cleared the debris from the highway and kept the family comfortable while they devised a way of towing the disabled trailer to an open stretch of highway where they controlled traffic to prevent a further accident until the tow truck arrived several hours later.
