While providing convoy security support on Wednesday September 28 in Safwan Iraq, Airman 1st Class Elizabeth Nicole Jacobson, 21, of Riviera Beach Florida, became the first Security Forces Airman to die in Operation Iraqi Freedom. She died as a result of her vehicle making contact with an improvised explosive device (IED). Safwan is on the border of Iraq and Kuwait. She is also the first female Airman killed in the line of duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Airman Jacobson had been in Iraq for just over three months. "A1C Jacobson was a great troop...always sought the hardest challenges and never gave up. She worked very hard to get on the convoy section and had only been working it for a couple of weeks when the incident occurred. She was a bright and intelligent young lady who cared deeply for her country and the military."
Size: 1.75" Metal: Bronze A1C John Levitow, a loadmaster on an AC-47 gunship, acted quickly to save his aircraft, designated "Spooky 71", after it was hit by enemy fire. Wounded, he threw himself upon a magnesium flare and tossed it out of the aircraft moments before it ignited. A1Cs Levitow and Pitsenbarger are the lowest ranking airmen to receive the Medal of Honor -- the United States' highest recognition for bravery in combat.
