Alden Yale Henry, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On October 29, 2010, Yale Henry intervened when a fellow student attacked his friend at a high school, in West Vancouver, British Columbia. The attacker ran up behind Mr. Henry and his friend and began to stab the friend while others looked on in shock. Disregarding the possible danger to himself, Mr. Henry grabbed the attacker and pulled him away. He held him in a bear hug until the assailant dropped his knife and fled. The victim was brought to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. The attacker was apprehended by police a short time later.
