John D. Trent (right), a Defense Commissary Agency contractor and motorcycle enthusiast living in Japan, visits his friend and fellow rider, Makoto Tanabe (left), as he recovers from his injuries sustained in an accident that occurred July 3, 2016, in Shizuoka Prefecture. Trent saved Tanabe’s life during a leisure group ride with the Hard n' Fast international riding club. While turning onto a bridge, Tanabe briefly lost control of his bike, hitting the bridge’s sidewall and nearly severing his left foot. Trent applied first aid by using a bungee cord as a tourniquet, thereby stopping the bleeding and giving first responders precious time to evacuate his friend to the nearest hospital to reattach his foot. Tanabe remains in stable condition. (photo courtesy of John D. Trent)
