Aaron works for the sheriff's department. He gives 110% of his heart to his job. He's selfless, very down to earth and works all the time. He's very deserving of this gift.

She is an amazing woman she has came so far! She has conquered addiction and works at Seymour comprehensive treatment center!! She loves watching her patients recovery path... She works hard and loves even harder. And I feel she deserves appreciation


Nominee - Benjamin Miller
Nominated by - Natasha Miller

Ben Miller is a Sergeant at the Seymour Police Department. He is very dedicated to his job and his shift. When not at work, you can find Ben in the gym working out, training firearms, jiu jitsu, studying department SOPs, or reading case law. Everyday his shift works, he goes over a new case to ensure the squad is constantly learning. Ben and his shift have started working out after shift to help ensure they stay in shape. This has helped keep the entire shift accountable. Weekends aren't always fun to work; however, Ben tries to make the best of it for his squad. He has implemented Sunday squad dinners. Ben also is involved in the community. He serves on the Anchor House board and also volunteers his time with other local NFPs in the community. Ben is a very active police officer. If he is on scene, you can guarantee he will give 110%. He will ensure the call is handled timely and properly. Ben has a natural ability to think quickly and remain calm. Being an officer's wife isn't always easy but I know that if something would happen at work, it isn't because Ben hasn't trained and prepared himself for the worst situations. There are a lot of good officers but Ben Miller is one of the best!

 Nominee - Nick Martoccia
Nominated by - Kim Martoccia

My husband has been a first responder around 19 years.  He started out at the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Office in Corrections, and then Bartholomew County Work Release.  He then was hired on as a Deputy with the Sheriff's Office thirteen years ago and now an IUPD Officer. There are things that all first responders see that most people can't handle.  I can't imagine what he keeps to himself and fights internally from what he has witnessed on the scene of different calls.  I am so proud of what he does for our community.  He gives his heart and soul to his work.

I would like to nominate my granddaughter Kaelen Marie Eglen-Davis. Kaelen is a registered nurse at Schneck Medical Center. Kaelen graduated from nursing school last May and has been employed at Schneck for about 5 years. Kaelen works in the emergency room where she is always busy! She works hard and loves her patients and co workers! Kaelen always gives 120 percent as they are her first priority! Kaelen was awarded two DAISY AWARD'S recently which is an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses everyday! Kaelen puts everyone first including family and now she deserves a little ME time!


 Nominee - Stephen Wheeles
Nominated by - Angie Wheeles

I am nominating Sgt. Stephen Wheeles with the Indiana State Police. He has served the state of Indiana for 23 years as a trooper. His current role is the public information officer for his district but he has served in many roles during his career including a K-9 handler for 8 years. The start to his first responder career actually began when he was in college as a volunteer firefighter on Lookout Mt., GA. He continued his firefighting on the Oakland City fire department while attending college in Indiana and ended his firefighting on the Brownstown fire dept. His passion for helping those in need has driven him for many years of service to the public and continues to be the reason he works so hard for our community.
