Two men from Georgia are being honored as Carnegie Heroes.

Ronnie Lee Moore Jr., 42, of Hortense, Ga, and John Shannon Gibson, 45, of Woodbine, Ga, rescued a woman from a burning car that crashed in Waverly, Georgia, in October 2013.

They are among 19 people being honored with medals and cash from the Pittsburgh–based Carnegie Heroes Fund Commission.

The medal is given throughout the United States and Canada to those who risk their lives to an extraordinary degree while saving or attempting to save the lives of others.
