A great story of one of our more impressive military men. Also go to
Junius Ponds Fatal for other stories with added details.
Hope that Army Sgt. Jacob Perkins gets some added recognition from his command.

The EPA should claim responsibility for this event. The emission controls on diesel engines are a joke. I drive a fire engine on a volunteer department. Our engine has the last generation system without the Diesel Exhaust Fluid. On fire equipment the exhaust regeneration cycle can be postponed yet the system request must be acknowledged. On other applications the regeneration request must not only be acknowledged but performed.

An amazing story of courage and compassion. It says a lot for our US military.

It is mentioned in the story that he pulled off to reset his emissions controls. I am making an assumption.

The EPA should claim responsibility for this event. If you read the article it sounds like the bus driver pulled back onto the road into the path of a truck.
To: UB355
Yeah; I didn’t realise that the diesel cat. converter was not a flow-through like those on our cars. Wiki has a good description, and as you surmise is likely the reason for the pull-off. Thanks for the kick to the info.

Sgt. Perkins deserves as much recognition as can be given. I think, though, that he is but one more example of the quality and ability of ALL of the members of the US Armed Forces. Whenever, or where ever you need help, you’re a whole lot better off if someone from the US armed forces is near by.

What a beautiful story of compassion and unselfishness shown by the Army Sgt. He demonstated great love for his neighbor without any thought for his own welfare. God bless him.
