“The right thing to do.”

So says Davyon Johnson of Muscogee, Oklahoma. He's an 11 year-old who, on the same day, saved the lives of two people

At school on December 9 he saved a fellow student who was choking on a bottle cap. Davyon used the Heimlich maneuver, a technique he had learned on YouTube after being inspired by his uncle, Wendell Johnson, an emergency medical technician. 

Later that day his mother and he were driving to church when they spotted smoke coming from a house. There was a small fire near the back of the house. She turned the car around, and there it was: a small fire near the back of the house. All but one of the residents were running out, one was not. She was an older woman using a walker. Davyon helped her get to her truck.

He was honored by the Muskogee Public Schools Board of Education.
