When Shammah Hammideh gets married next weekend near Chicago, by her side will be both the ordinary -- her groom, her family, her bridal party -- and the extraordinary, the police officer who saved her life 21 years ago.

Hammideh, 20, and a recent nursing school graduate, was just two months old in December 1993 when she stopped breathing.

The first emergency worker to respond to her family’s Yonkers, New York, home was Joe Barca, at the time a sergeant in the Yonkers Police Department.

Barca performed CPR on Hamideh as the pair traveled to a local hospital. By the time they reached the emergency room, according to Barca, she was breathing on her own.

“Her father said years ago that he gave her life the first time and I gave her life the second time,” now-Capt. Barca told ABC News today. “That’s the way they’ve been treating me ever since.”

Just a few months after the rescue, the Hammideh family invited Barca and his family -- his wife, Helen, and their three sons -- to dinner at their home, Barca said. They kept in touch even when the Hammidehs moved nearly 400 miles away to Buffalo in 2003.

They're both white. Why did you post this?

Because I hate white people. Seems to be the thing to do, since folks here who hate Obama can't stop talking about him. :rofl:

I hope Yonkers PD is still training their krewes to be this compassionate and with real-world, life-saving skills.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

You know me too well, I'm flattered. :wub:

If I was in a racially charged thread with certain folks, I'm pretty sure I'd get reported. But since Spooky started this in jest, I'm pretty sure anyone could see that's what it is.
