CaliforniaNewswire.com reports that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last week unveiled a touchscreen kiosk as part of the state's Medal of Valor award program. Following the presentation of Medal of Valor awards to 27 state employees, the governor introduced the kiosk, which the Web site says was gifted to the state by the California Association of Highway Patrolmen. The kiosk is meant to celebrate past recipients of the award:
In celebration of the program’s 50th anniversary, past Medal of Valor awardees were also honored for their courage and heroism when the governor unveiled the new Medal of Valor Award Kiosk, a stand-alone display gifted to the state by the California Association of Highway Patrolmen. The new Medal of Valor Award Kiosk will be permanently located by the east entrance of the state Capitol and will provide touchscreen access, where visitors can find Medal of Valor award recipient information.
The Medal of Valor is awarded to state employees who have performed an extraordinary act of heroism above and beyond the normal call of duty, at great risk to their own personal safety or life, to save the life of another.
