Who is Anna Ruth Lang?
Anna Ruth Lang is a recipient of the Canadian Cross of Valour.
On the ninth of September 1980 Anna Lang rescued two car passengers. At the entry of the Hammond River bridge a fuel tanker hit Mrs. Lang's car and rammed it through and into the river. At that point the tanker fell into the river and exploded. Suffering a concussion and under threat of spreading fire, Mrs. Lang swam to shore and removed her heavy clothing, and then returned to the submerged car. Mrs Lang managed to reach her passengers and dragged her four year old son and another woman a safe distance from the fire and to shore. She suffered extreme burns during the rescue.
She was awarded the Cross of Valour, the highest ranking of the Canadian Bravery Decorations, one of 20 who has received the award since the award was established in 1972.
