Two Las Vegas Army Reserve Soldiers were given a rare and top honor for saving the lives of their fellow soldiers during a training exercise .
"It was a tragic accident equipment was damaged, that was terrible, but had we lost our soldiers' lives, it would have been far worse," Brigadier General Earl Sparks said. "A vehicle collided into another and momentarily went airborne, flipped on its side, immediately catching fire," Orduno said."We kind of both didn't think about it; it was just a straight run to the vehicle where it was fully engulfed at that point; we just kept hearing other soldiers saying that there are still more soldiers trapped in there," said Orduno.
"My first reaction was to remove my ACH, my helmet and try to break the windshields, which windshields don't break that easily; they are not meant to break, so it started melting on my helmet," Vallejo said. "At that point, I started looking around to see what I could do. I could see the soldier inside trying to crawl out the door that was towards the sky, but since the impact tweaked the frame, he was not able to open the door.
