Airman 1st Class Andrew Pranzo, 89th Communications Squadron airborne communications technician, is coined by Col. John C. Millard, 89th Airlift Wing commander, during a special recognition ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, Md., Sept. 3, 2014. Pranzo, a 19-year-old Las Vegas native has been in the Air Force merely nine months, yet used his basic military training self-aid and buddy care techniques to bandage an injured man’s head after witnessing the man fall about four feet and smash his head on a boulder about two miles into the mountains at Shenandoah National Park, Va., Aug. 10. The fall caused a Y-shaped gash in the man’s forehead from hair-line to eyebrow, which exposed his skull. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Kevin Wallace/RELEASED)
