Through all the frenzy about Osan's Town Patrol, Job Cuts, and WRSA-K, newsbits, this one slipped through the radar screen. Heck, even USFK's good neighbor site didn't even pick it up.

During a meeting with the 19th Military Police Battalion, which supports criminal investigators in South Korea and Japan, Maj. Gen. Donald Ryder attended a brief ceremony honoring Pfc. Terrence Jacobs, of LaFayette, La., a mechanic with the unit.

Jacobs was leaving Yongsan the afternoon of April 7 when he saw a Korean woman lying in a car. He rushed over, realized she was choking, and performed the Heimlich maneuver on her, according to Command Sgt. Maj. Benjamin Kellam, the battalion’s ranking enlisted soldier. Jacobs said the woman quickly became alert again after resuming breathing; Korean officials rushed her to a hospital.

Jacobs “did what any soldier would have done,” said Ryder, Army provost marshal general and commanding general, Army Criminal Investigation Command. “It’s a reflection of our soldiers. It’s an example of what we should do,” he said at the ceremony.

Jacobs said, “I just received the award for something I was trained for. ... It was something anybody should have done.”
