Leann Roggensack, a cannon crewmember assigned to Battle Group Poland, is awarded an Army Commendation Medal, by U.S. Army Lt. Col. Donny Hebel, Commander of Battle Group Poland, for her outstanding military professionalism and performance, at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, Poland, Dec. 28, 2018. (Sgt. Sarah Kirby\/Army)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A good news story brought to us by by our own Skippy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By: Hannah Graf<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tennessee National Guard soldier Sgt. Leann Roggensack was driving home in the rain on May 27 when she noticed a car in her neighborhood was pulled over with the flashers on.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old initially drove past, as it was around 11 p.m. and she was alone. But she was compelled to turn around and see if the driver needed help.<\/p>\n<p>What Roggensack saw when she pulled up was a new mother standing next to the vehicle, still attached via umbilical cord to her newborn son, who was lying on the pavement covered in blood. Immediately, Roggensack retrieved her phone, towels and an iPhone charger.<\/p>\n<p>As a nurse with extensive experience helping mothers and babies, Roggensack knew what to do as she waited for EMTs to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>While on the phone with emergency medical services, she used the iPhone charger to tie off the umbilical cord when the mother delivered the placenta. Roggensack wrapped the newborn in a towel and waited with the mother in the rain.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her years of experience as a nurse and a cannon crewmember in the Tennessee Army National Guard, Roggensack said she had never encountered a situation like that. She was used to having medications, supplies and others around to help her in such dire moments, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never had that kind of adrenaline rush before,\u201d Roggensack said. \u201cI didn\u2019t sleep for 48 hours after that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bravo Zulu Sergeant Roggensack!
