Ceremony Honoring Sam Madison & His Son

=

Tallahassee


The Court will honor one of its security officers, Sam Madison, Sr.--along with his son, Miami Dolphins Cornerback Sam Madison, Jr.--for heroism above and beyond the call of duty. On Sept. 13, 1998, Madison and his son witnessed a traffic accident near Miami's Pro Player Stadium that left Miami Metro-Dade Officer Rueben Jones critically injured. Sam Madison, Sr., stayed on the scene to provide CPR to Jones while Sam Madison, Jr., went to summon medical help. Their efforts prolonged Jones' life and helped apprehend the drunken driver who caused the accident. NOTE: Due to Sam Jr.'s practice schedule, we will not know if he can attend until the morning of this event.
