Upon arriving, the soldiers found the woman unresponsive in the driver’s seat of her car. They quickly determined she had no pulse and was not breathing.
WOIO reported that the team began performing CPR and rescue breaths in shifts for about 6 minutes until an ambulance arrived.
The woman was taken to a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
The men were recognized for the life-saving work at a small ceremony this week.
