Marine Corps bump!! thanks so much for posting..
Not trying to make additional work for you (G) but can you find the actual citation and post it. They're beautifully written, and worth reading...
FYI, there are many who maintain that it is in today's military impossible to win the CMOH unless it is posthumously, therefore, the courage attested to in this award may well merit the higher award..

This should be FRONT PAGE news, every channel, every city, throughout the nation 24/7 for a couple of weeks!!!
But........NO..the leftists will cover the worst of the best even though it is about 10-15 people in 2.1 million. We have a shamefull press.

A TRUE Marine - He must have been busted after coming home!
NOT a disparaging comment for a Marine. I believe it was Smedley Butler who said you weren't a real marine unless you had been busted at least ONCE! (paraphrased, of course!)
;>)
Congratulations MARINE!

Every time I read a news story that causes me to despair for the generations younger than I, I remind myself that there are Americans such as Pfc. Perez on duty.
OutSTANDing job, Marine!
