Man who saved cop delighted to get national honour
#JamaicaStar
AUGUST 17, 2022: What started as the usual brisk, early-morning walk for a 63-year-old resident of Portmore, St Catherine, on February 15, soon evolved into a life-changing experience for him and a life-saving one for a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
The cop had been shot in the back, thrown into bushes and left for dead by his attackers who stole his motorcycle, service pistol and cell phone. Now come Heroes Day, October 17, Josiah Wright is set to take another walk, this time in distinguished company at King’s House where he and friend Winston Thorpe will be among the nine Jamaicans will receive the Badge of Honour for Gallantry from Governor General Sir Patrick Allen.

There are many more good people in Jamaica than bad ones. It's the few bad ones who are making the country look bad. I wish that a whirlwind or something would just scope them up and dump them in a remote place until they repent and turn from their wicked ways. God bless this man and all good hearted people of Jamaica.

The Lord surely will reward you but you have done a great job if you could help somebody as you travel along you're living shall not be in vain
Well done, we'll done Mr. Josiah Wright!! You were given the name of an ancient king (King Josiah of Judah who was a righteous leader) and certainly your action was a kingly one. Well deserved recognition for your thoughtful deed. Nuff blessings and guidance to and over you and your family continually.
The spouse and family of this gentleman should hold their heads high, as he has set the ultimate example we should follow as Jamaicans. Speedy recovery to you as well sir.
Josiah was a very young king, for Judah..This man was predestined for greatness… The walk he took was ordained..
