No cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed and no automated external defibrillator was deployed, but their quick, coordinated response ensured she got the medical attention she needed. For that, the three received a commander’s coin from Sacramento District Commander Col. Robert McTighe on Dec. 8, 2025. They’re grateful for it, though they’re quick to put it in perspective.
