Eggs sends us a link to the story<\/a> of eight Airmen who came up on a 19 vehicle accident in Arizona and set to work pulling victims from the massive wreckage;<\/p>\n

Unlike in battle, where the airmen are prepared with proper equipment, these men had to make do with scraps and rubble. <\/p>\n

“Cardboard boxes on the side of the road to make splints,” another airmen, David said. “Rolls of tape, you know. Whatever we could get.”<\/p>\n

They went from vehicle to vehicle trioging victims at least 30 minutes before any advanced medical teams arrived, trying desperately to calm the injured down. <\/p>\n

Airman Wes remembered talking to a driver who felt guilty about the crash.<\/p>\n

He said while he was focusing on making sure the victim was okay, he also wanted to distract the man from his distress.<\/p>\n

“[I asked] him about himself…get his name and reassure him that we’re going to get him out of there.”<\/p>\n

After Dave rescued another man from his car, he recalled how happy the man was to see all of the airmen by his side.<\/p>\n

“When he was able to see that there was actually people there to help, he was really…the look on his face was really grateful.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The men helped medical helicopters land, and when they knew the paramedics had the scene under control, they quietly slipped away.<\/p>\n

Firefighters on scene told Nine On Your Side that night, that they wish they could have said thank you, and they weren’t sure what they would have done without them. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to DVIDS <\/a> they were PJs of the 48th Rescue Squadron at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz.
