Iron La-Cross
a newly approved medal given by the German army to US army aviators (often Dustoff warrant officers) who perform outstanding feats of bravery and heroism while flying under a hail of bullets to rescue wounded Bundeswehr soldiers. Warrant officers awarded this will automatically get promoted to the rank of Captain. Awardees will wear the medal around the neck while flying.
