[quote:11f9b]Capt. Ryan Welch, 30, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for leading a rescue of two American fliers wounded in a deadly helicopter crash south of Baghdad last fall.

During the risky night mission, Welch helped lift one of the injured men into a two-seat Apache helicopter, then strapped himself and the other flier to the outside. [/quote:11f9b]
