Attorney General Eric Holder will be on hand for the awarding of the Medal Valor to three Massachusetts firefighters on Wednesday, the White House announced.

The Medal of Valor is the highest national honor for heroism by a public safety officer. The award is given out annually.

This year recipients went into a burning house in Brookline, Mass., in 2008 to help firefighters and residents trapped inside. No one died in the three-alarm fire.
