Medal of Bravery
On March 14, 2010, Chad Khadr and his cousin, Corporal Tamer Khadr, rescued a man from a burning vehicle, on Highway 15, in southern Quebec. The car had skidded on the wet pavement, hit a pole and landed on the median, causing a fire to break out in the engine compartment. The passenger managed to get out and was led to safety by Corporal Khadr while Chad Khadr pried open the driver's side door. Corporal Khadr crawled into the smoke-filled vehicle through the passenger side and undid the driver's seat belt. The rescuers worked quickly to free the victim and carried him a safe distance away before flames fully engulfed the wreckage.
