Daniel Sokolowski, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On February 22, 2010, Daniel Sokolowski rescued a woman from a possible drowning, in Cayo Largo, Cuba. The victim had been playing in the water when she was pulled further away from shore. Several men set out to help, but returned to shore, unable to swim in the rough waters. Mr. Sokolowski ran in and battled against the crashing waves and strong undertow to reach the woman. Although he is not a strong swimmer, Mr. Sokolowski managed to get the victim safely to shore.
