Lanza, commanding general of the 7th Infantry Division, outside the division headquarters, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., Aug. 2, after Lanza presented him with a Bayonet Soldier of the Month certificate and commander's coin for his actions March, 27, 2013. Frisby, with the 2nd Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, was on gate guard duty at the Madigan Gate entrance to JBLM, when a women in labor was driving through. Realizing that there was not enough time to get her to Madigan Army Medical Center, Frisby helped the woman to deliver the baby at the gate. However, Frisby soon realized the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck; he immediately repositioned the child in order to allow the baby to breathe. "This is a great exmaple of a Soldier who was able to remain calm, despite the pressure of the situation, and do what he needed to do to ensure the safety of the baby and mother," Lanza said. "He helped give life, and for that we [7th Infantry Division leadership] are extremely proud."
