Staff Sergeant Mitchell Corbin; saving the world one person at a time

| June 16, 2012

Richard sends us a link to an article about Staff Sergeant Mitchell Corbin, a guardsman in the 147th Reconnaissance Wing of the Texas Air National Guard in Ellington, TX who happened by fiery car crash a few weeks back;

As eyewitnesses waited for help, one man jumped on top [of the burning car], smashed out the window with a fire extinguisher and with help, pulled [Nancy Decker] to safety. Then he was gone.

Thank you for sharing this, Jonn. My thanks to SSgt Mitchell Corbin for springing into action. What a great example of our awesome men and women in uniform.

Well done, Staff Sergeant. You risked injury or worse to save another. You’re a fine man and a great example.

Hopefully your unit will recognize your actions appropriately.

The important thing is that he was found AND interviewed about it. Now no one else can claim “I did that! That was me!”

Well done Zoomie (said with all affection)!

I’m surprised he didn’t hang around waiting for the people to pay him for the opportunity to call him hero. Oh, wait, he’s not a lrrp assassin.

What a great young man. Played softball with him when he was in high school in Ohio. He should be very proud. The Air Force should be proud and the nation should be proud that we have young men and women like this protecting us.
