The Legion of Merit is awarded to civilians who have shown exemplary performance in service to others, according to a statement issued by Jan Care.
Bruce Price, who received the award, has worked as an EMT for 43 years.
He has assisted over 38,000 patients.
Price told 59News he was overwhelmed by the award.
'I cannot express my gratitude to the Cornett family and Jan Care. Because it was the Cornett's, particularly Rick Cornett, who gave me an opportunity to be a paramedic. Jan Care gave me my career. I'll never work for anybody else,' said Price.
Price said it is an honor to be recognized for his service to the community, but that he was only doing what he loves and what he knew was right.
