A medic, Corporal Lindsey is recognized for the outstanding professionalism he displayed on May 25, 2006, in South Gumbad, Afghanistan, when a light armoured vehicle was struck and destroyed by an improvised explosive device. Six occupants, including Corporal Lindsey, were injured. Demonstrating calmness, he helped extricate the wounded, treated and stabilized the casualties while coordinating medical evacuations, and completed a transfer of the patients to American flight medics. Corporal Lindsey’s actions performed under combat conditions bring great credit to the Canadian Forces and to Canada.
