The single mother of five children had a personal motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor those people who are in there, they have families, too,\u201d said Dimond. \u201cSomething as simple as going in there to get them out can save a whole life and a whole family from grief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warrant officer\u2019s courageous acts on Dec. 4 didn\u2019t surprise those who work with her and know her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s always ready to help and always prepared to answer a question,\u201d said Capt. Donny Lopera, a network engineer with 3rd Infantry Division. \u201cWhen a person with five kids takes the initiative to enter a burning building without hesitation, it\u2019s personal courage and selfless service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dimond\u2019s unit is in the process of recommending her for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2023\/07\/18\/this-soldier-used-his-body-as-a-shield-to-stop-a-violent-assault\/#:~:text=The%20Soldier's%20Medal%20is%20the,%2C%E2%80%9D%20according%20to%20service%20regulations.\" target=\"_blank\">Army Commendation Medal<\/a>, 3rd ID spokeswoman, Maj. Angel Tomko, told Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Th warrant officer hails from Guam and joined the Army in July 2008 as an information technology specialist. She has previously earned three Army Commendation Medals and eight Army Achievement Medals during her service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>*Editor\u2019s Note: This article has been
