During the 9/11 annual commemoration four Berlin, Massachusetts residents were honored with the Madeline Amy Sweeney Award for Civilian Bravery for their extraordinary rescue following an explosion in a residential area. In the aftermath of the explosion, knowing that two women lived in the collapsed home engulfed in flames, Brian and Dylan Clemmer, Bobby Wheeler, and Jonathan Golas, shown here with Amy's daughter Anna, put their own personal safety at risk to help and together with Berlin Police Officer Molly Plante were able to help save one of the women. Madeline Amy Sweeney was an American flight attendant who was killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11, the first aircraft hijacked by terrorists and flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. In the flight’s final minutes, Sweeney contacted the airline’s ground services crew to convey critical information about the hijackers and their actions on the plane that morning.
