The Fort Benning Bayonet<\/a> reports that two years, Second Lieutenant Robert Fetters while he was still a West Point Cadet and training at the Pentagon, witnessed a woman who was struck by a subway train in downtown Washington, DC. Fetters, without regard to his own safety, leaped onto the tracks and crawled under the train to rescue the woman. <\/p>\n

Her legs were severed, so the young cadet applied tourniquets to the remaining portions of her legs, stanching the loss of blood and probably saving her life. Now a Lieutenant, and graduating from the Army’s Infantry Officer Basic Course, he was awarded the Soldiers Medal. <\/p>\n

Fetters, who graduated IBOLC just after he was given the medal, said it felt good to receive the award, but said the real heroes are the ones who are deployed right now.<\/p>\n

“I’m a Soldier, just like any other. And there are many people overseas who do this type of thing every day,” he said. “I just did what was necessary under the circumstances.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
