Olson was recognized for her distinguished service by President Barack Obama during a ceremony held at the White House, July 4, 2013, as a result of her selfless actions in Afghanistan in the wake of an improvised explosive device attack in May 2012. Olson &quot;had to be ordered to stop and get treatment for herself when the medevac aircraft arrived,&quot; the president said. &quot;And for her courage, she was awarded a Bronze Star.&quot; (Courtesy Photo)
