Chief Warrant Officer 3 Nathan Champion, left, of the California Army National Guard’s Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, 140th Aviation Regiment, was awarded the California Military Cross from Col. Robert A. Spano, Director, California Military Department Joint Staff, April 15 at the State of California Office of Emergency Services in Sacramento, California. While single-handedly flying a UH-72 Lakota helicopter during the August 2014 Lodge Fire in Mendocino County, California, Champion responded to an emergency that led to the rescue of eight firefighters after their position was overrun by a wildfire. The California Military Cross is the state’s second-highest award for military valor, behind only the California Medal of Honor. (U.S. Army National Guard photo/Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
