On Tuesday August 20, 2013, Antoinette Tuff showed extreme selflessness and true heroism, when she convinced a mentally disturbed gunman to put down his gun and surrender to the police, thus single-handedly saving the lives of over 800 school children, teachers and staff members. We believe that this, amongst all else, makes Ms. Tuff more than worthy of the Medal Of Freedom, the highest honor a President can bestow upon an American civilian.
