Mabry received the Silver Lifesaving Medal for heroic actions while off-duty and recovering from leg surgery in Cape Charles, Virginia June 21, 2015.

Mabry and a good Samaritan entered the water and rescued a drowning teenager 50-yards offshore. Once onshore, Mabry persisted and re-entered the water looking for another teenager, who unfortunately succumbed to drowning.
