1st Sgt. Erica Lark of 3rd Battalion (Airborne) 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment showed true selfless service when she pulled a pregnant woman and her baby out of a flipped vehicle after it crashed in her front yard.
"Being the first on the scene for such an impactful accident and aiding until EMS, Fire Department and police arrive was natural," said Lark. "I thought the vehicle was going to burn and didn’t know she was pregnant until I got her out of the vehicle, all I heard was 'my baby, my baby' as she held a two year old in her arms and in no car seat."
"I am truly grateful and humble for every training exercise and the experience I have gained over the years," said Lark. "In a split moment any of us could have to utilize training and skills to assist those in need. I am truly honored to serve on and off duty. Attitude and choice are important and both matter."
