U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. will honor members of the Virginia-based search and rescue teams that worked in Haiti after the earthquake.
The teams, from Virginia Beach and Fairfax County, included more than 150 people and rescued a total of 19 survivors.
A delegation of 10 people from each of the teams will attend the ceremony with Warner Friday, a news release from the senator’s office said.
Following the ceremony, the two delegations will get a special White House tour.
