Army Ranger Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Celiz made the ultimate sacrifice to save others.

During an insurgent attack on July 12, 2018, he used his own body to shield a MEDEVAC crew, allowing them to safely evacuate.

His heroic actions saved lives, and cost him his own.

For his extraordinary bravery, Sgt. 1st Class Celiz was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
