Sgt. 1st Class Mario King, U.S. Army Human Resources Command Information Technology Specialist career advisor, is presented the Soldier's Medal during a ceremony hosted by Maj. Gen. Jason T. Evans, U.S. Army Human Resources Command commanding general, at the Lt. Gen. Timothy J. Maude Complex located on Fort Knox, Ky., Sept. 7, 2018. The Soldier's Medal is awarded to any person of the United States Armed Forces with acts of heroism not involving conflict with an enemy. King was awarded the medal for his actions on May 13, 2018 in which he risked his own safety to rescue the driver of a tractor trailer loaded with 8,000 gallons of fuel that was involved in an accident along I-75 near Louisville, Ky. The fuel truck had jack knifed while trying to avoid hitting a swerving car, rolled down the interstate, and burst into flames, pinning the driver inside the overturned cab of the vehicle. King was able to free the trapped driver and drag the man to safety. (U.S. Army photo by Master Sgt. Brian Hamilton/ released)
