Your wrong. Not "everyone" would have done what she did. Anyone who gives their life to save all the children in their classroom is a hero.

I agree with you, not everyone would do what she did. I also agree she should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom for what she did.

Hopefully this starting point will result in that action being taken. Very good idea, though!

According to an AP bulletin, all 6 adults will get the award (posthumously) on February 15, 2013.

My last petition but I hope it produces positive effects for Victoria Soto.

her memory is very deserving.

So did Lauren Rousseau (the other teacher) and the principal and social worker and school psychologist. Lauren was my daughter's best friend. I know the kind of person she was.

R.I.P.

Because of Victoria Sota, and other faculty members, The Pricipal, The School Psychologist, and many others, many student's lives were saved. I think these heroic people should get awards, and their names should go down in history for being heroes. Their memories should be kept alive for future generations because of the magnitude of selflessness of how they gave their lives for their students. What dedication! I think it is great that they are building a school in Stratford and naming it after Victoria Soto.

I agree with you Sir, but we had to start somewhere and hopefully all the staff will get the honors they so rightfully deserve.

Thank you Sabato.

I agree but to get the politicians off their tail ends, we must start somewhere.

iF YOU WERE A VET LIKE I AM THEN TO BE UNDER FIRE YOU KNOW HOW TO REACT THIS TEACHER SHOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT RECIEVE THIS AWARD FOR HER CALL TO DUTY AMEN AND MAY THIS BRAVE YOUNG LADY R.I.P.

.....and the same honor to YOU......THANK YOU Mr Bendell or your service

***for your service

As a Disabled Veteran of the Korean era, I can not disagree with giving this teacher an award.

yes they are mr carl

My cousin, aunt and uncle were from Lordship. We all agree. She was a true heroine. That would be so nice for her family!

...and father.

Jennifer....You are so right. No parent should ever have to bury there child. I buried my younest son on 12-3-04 exactly 3 days before his 33rd birthday. I guess the most diggicult time for me was havin to watch my son die over a three week period of time. He was involed in a motorcycle accident on 10-10-04, but his death didn't come until 10-29-04. The empty spot never leaves and you always feel a darkness. I am so sorry this woman is havin to go through this.

God is cruel to you

I agree...they all deserve this honor, and their families deserve all the comfort that they can get.

I agree with you Sir, but we should start with one and push for ALL of Them. Politicians might have screwed our country up, but America is not down and out yet.

My daughter's friend, Lauren Rousseau, was the other 1st grade teacher that was killed. Where's the push to honor her?

Norma Audette Vinchkoski , according to AP bulletin, all 6 adults will get the award (posthumously) on February 15, 2013. That's what we all wanted!

i cant believe her name isnt included in the reward and recognition from the president. she is as much as a hero of anyone else. i feel they all derserve to be recognized for their heroism. anyone who tried to protect all those children are heros to me!

This is just a starting point with the hope that they are all honored.
