This resolution commends Deputy Gregory Aydell of the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office for being awarded the 2025 Deputy Valor Award by the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association, recognizing his extraordinary service and bravery both in military and law enforcement careers. The resolution highlights Aydell's remarkable background, including his military service in the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, where he completed seven deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and earned multiple honors including a Purple Heart, and his subsequent transition to law enforcement in 2022 with the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. During his law enforcement career, Aydell has saved multiple lives, been proactive in removing drugs and guns from the streets, and received multiple awards including three lifesaving awards and a Meritorious Service Award. The Deputy Valor Award specifically recognizes Aydell's actions in 2024, during which he performed life-saving acts that went "above and beyond the call of duty," including saving three lives in multiple incidents within a short time frame. The resolution ultimately celebrates Aydell as an inspiring public servant who consistently answers the call to serve his community and country without hesitation.
