Chief Tango sends us a link to the story <\/a>of the day that Master Sergeant Timothy Kessler rescued an expectant mother and a number of his neighbors from a deadly cloud of anhydrous ammonia. He saw a stranded car in the cloud and selflessly drove his own car into the poison and evacuated Holly Nichols from the car. Then he went around knocking on doors to alert folks in the path of the noxious cloud.<\/p>\n

Master Sergeant Timothy Kessler, the Operations Non-Commissioned Officer for the 364th Brigade Support Battalion was awarded the Soldiers Medal for his valor at a sporting event in Busch Stadium between the Cubs and Cardinals.<\/p>\n

\u201cHolly was pregnant when she was rescued,\u201d Danny Nichols added. \u201cThere isn\u2019t enough you can do or say to thank someone who saves your daughter and grandson.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout his quick response and heroism, we would not have our daughter and grandson today,\u201d Danny Nichols said. \u201cTim Kessler is a true hero in the eyes of the Nichols family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWords alone can\u2019t describe how grateful we are,\u201d Ruthann Nichols added. \u201cIt was a true miracle he (Kessler) was in the right place at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danny Nichols said he and his wife still have medical issues from exposure to the anhydrous ammonia fumes from the leak on April 5, 2016.<\/p>\n

After receiving The Soldier’s Medal, Kessler was given the honor of throwing out the first pitch of the Cardinals vs. Cubs ballgame to St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Alex Reyes acting as catcher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
