Mac told him that they were honoring them with a ceremony for what they did that day. They only thing that ran though Flack's head was 'why would anyone give him a metal for almost dying?' He knew Mac deserved it. He had indeed saved his life and the others in the building that day even the people who were on the street near the building. The second thought that ran though his head was what his parents would think, more of what his father would think. He would probably pretend to be happy for him but would really think he didn't deserve it. Another thought he had was he hoped Lindsay would be there too. Because to him the biggest award out of all of this was the closer relationship he had with her.
