John Barry Boyarski, MB is a retired Canadian bus driver and recipient of three awards acknowledging bravery. On August 8, 1985 while working for TransLink services in the Greater Vancouver region, John Boyarski stopped his bus on a Vancouver street to assist a young girl who was being dragged to a car. Not at first aware that her assailant was armed, he stepped out of the bus, approaching the assailant while the young girl escaped to the inside of the bus. Three gunshots were fired from a semi-automatic pistol, all missing Boyarski. The assailant then fled in his car and was soon captured by police. The victim had sustained two bullet wounds to the arm prior to Boyarski's arrival. He was awarded a heroism medal from the Carnegie Hero Fund in October 1986.〔''Orlando Sentinel'', "2 Floridians Among 19 Cited As Heroes" (October 31, 1986) By United Press International, at: http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1986-10-31/news/0270060200_1_medals-were-awarded-rescued-medal-for-saving accessed 23 August 2010〕 On August 19, 1989, he was awarded a Canadian Medal of Bravery 〔"Mr. John Barry Boyarski, MB", "Honours - Decorations for Bravery" (perform a search at: http://archive.gg.ca/honours/search-recherche/index_e.asp?TypeID=br ) accessed 23 August 2010〕 by Governor General Jeanne Sauvé. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Boyarski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
