Screaming Eagle Medic

Brig. Gen. Frank Helmick, left, congratulates Pvt. Dwayne Turner, right, after awarding him the Silver Star, the third highest award for actions in combat at Fort Campbell, Ky., Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004. Turner, a combat medic in the 101st Airborne Division, treated 16 fellow soldiers, saving the lives of at least two, while suffering from multiple untreated bullet and grenade shrapnel wounds during an attack in Iraq. 'He is a bona fide hero,' said Helmick. (AP Photo/Christopher Berkey)

16 patients at one time, with at least two serious. Out of a canvas bag and the patient's own IFAK. While wounded. Think about it for a minute.

Triage at its best...

...and a soldier performing in the finest traditions of the 101st Airborne.

Certainly a hero in my book. He is a classic definition of selfless service.

Treated 16 patients while wounded. Incredible.

Looking at the picture he appears to be very modest.

Simply outstanding!
