Gov. Gen. David Johnston awarded Winnipeg native Lester Lehmann a Star of Courage on Friday, for his selfless actions in protecting 26 students from armed gunmen.
The students, all teenagers from Ste. Anne, Man., were visiting the Dominican Republic. Lehmann was looking after the apartments where the students were staying.
