Blaine native receives recognition for heroic rescue

Jeffrey Ginther, a senior master sergeant with the U.S. Air Force, received several commendations following a rescue in California last year. Ginther saved two people who had fallen into a canal after a car wreck. Since then, he’s received recognition from numerous agencies throughout the United States, including the California State Legislature, the Veterans Memorial Museum, the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States, and in early September, the National Guard Association of the United States with the Valley Forge Cross for Heroism, r. Photos courtesy of Jeffrey Ginther.
