Earlier this spring, several airmen with the 125th Special Tactics Squadron, some of them in flip-flops, helped save the lives of two severely injured motorcycle riders on a highway in Idaho, providing trauma medicine skills and experience when it was most needed. The three soldiers’ swift action is the latest in a very long line of off-duty service members who stepped in to do the right thing at the spur of the moment, often without proper footwear. The soldiers pointed out that the lieutenant who was one of the first on the scene deserves praise too, but it was still unclear who that soldier was.
