The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Airman’s Medal to Chief Master Sergeant Daniel L. Hodler, United States Air Force, for heroism involving voluntary risk of life in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on 3 October 1995. On that date, Chief Hodler responded to a cry for help and arrived at a scene where a man had been trapped under a rolled over farm tractor. Another tractor operator’s attempt to raise the fallen one failed, trapping the man again, but Chief Hodler directed a second try to allow him a chance to rescue the victim. He quickly assessed the victim’s condition and determined the man needed cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Even though Chief Hodler was only marginally ambulatory due to recent knee surgery and still suffering from shortness of breath due to an ensuing pulmonary embolism, he administered single-man cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 20 minutes until ambulance crews arrived to relieve him. Shortly afterwards Chief Hodler was notified that another person needed medical attention. After assessment, despite being thoroughly exhausted, he retrieved the necessary equipment from an ambulance and administered oxygen therapy. The second victim responded to treatment and regained consciousness, and the first victim was transported to a hospital where his breathing and heart rate were restored. The exemplary courage and heroism displayed by Chief Hodler reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
