Lyle Manteuffel

For their service on June 27, 2001

Wardens Meyer and Manteuffel were patrolling the Wisconsin River when they were alerted to a swimmer in distress. The wardens responded to the area and found the swimmer desperately trying to stay on the surface. Meyer guided the boat near the swimmer and Manteuffel was able to grab the swimmer. The swimmer told the wardens that without their help he surely would have drowned.
