Golden Knights Involved In Near Fatal Accident

From Stars and Stripes:

Two members of the Golden Knights parachute team were tangled together, plummeting to Earth at 65 mph with little chance of survival.

Today, both Golden Knights were honored by the Army for risking their own lives while saving each other.

They each received a Soldier’s Medal, the highest Army award for valor outside of combat, in a ceremony at Fort Bragg that included remarks by Karl F. Schneider, acting Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.
