Air Force Maj. Gen. (Dr.) Sean L. Murphy, Deputy Surgeon General of the Air Force, presents the Angel of the Battlefield award to Air Force recipient Senior Airman Linda M. Wilson, during the 2018 Armed Services YMCA Angels of the Battlefield Awards Gala in Arlington, Va., Oct. 2, 2018. Wilson risked her own life to save the lives of others during the deadly mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite the danger, Wilson flagged down numerous cars to transport wounded victims, obtained first-aid supplies, utilized those supplies in treating victims, upon running out of medical supplies directed the use of clothing for improvised tourniquets and then loaded 8 critically injured victims into a car, providing life saving treatment throughout the trip to the hospital.
