The
Missouri Chapter of the National
Emergency Number Association (MONENA)
recently presented 6 y.o. Trinity Cauley from
St. Francis County, and 10 y.o. Dillon Huddleston from
Macon County with the
2008 HERO awards. They were honored by
the state’s 9-1-1 organization at the
banquet and awards ceremony that is held
annually by the association. The MONENA
annual conference and trade show was
held at the Tan-Tara Resort at Lake of
the Ozarks. The award was presented by
Michael Kindle, President of the
association. Centurytel is the sponsor of
the HERO award in Missouri.
Trinity placed a 9-1-1 call for her
dad who was having seizures, and Dillon
placed a
9-1-1 for his mom who was suffering from
a medical emergency during her
pregnancy. Both Trinity and Dillon
remained calm during their calls, and
described to the dispatchers what was
happening. They both also followed
the dispatchers instructions until
responders arrived on scene. For
knowing what to do during an emergency
and placing the 9-1-1 calls that helped
save their parents lives they truly are
HEROs.
