Specialist Rene J. Rodriguez, an Army combat medic, was awarded the Soldier's Medal for his heroic actions in saving a woman from a violent assault. Rodriguez intervened when he noticed the attack outside a coffee shop in Wahiawa, Hawaii, and shielded the woman from the attacker. Despite being pushed and shoved, Rodriguez managed to get the woman into his car and drove away to safety. The Soldier's Medal is the highest Army individual decoration for valor in a non-combat event, and only 241 soldiers in the regular Army have received this honor.
