Lt. Gov. Brad Little and Brig. Gen. Michael Garshak, commander, Idaho National Guard, presented Sgt. Andrew Vincent with the Idaho Cross in the governor's office Nov. 16, 2017.
Vincent, of the Idaho Army National Guard, received the medal for heroic actions on March 5, 2016. On that date, Vincent performed life-saving measures on an individual involved in a car accident on the interstate until medical help could arrive. Vincent's actions helped revived the man. Though the individual died four days later, his family was able to spend additional time with him before his death.
The Idaho Cross is the highest state award presented to a military member or civilian employee of the Idaho Military Division. The award recognizes actions by an individual that has distinguished himself by saving the life of a person or other significant act of heroism. Vincent is the 36th recipient of the award.
