00:23.354 --> 00:25.466
province in april 2000 and nine where

00:25.466 --> 00:27.354
he served as the headquarters and

00:27.354 --> 00:29.410
service company , First Sergeant for

00:29.410 --> 00:31.410
combat logistics regiment too . The

00:31.410 --> 00:33.466
regimental sergeant , Major Sergeant

00:33.466 --> 00:35.410
Major craig chaplains says after a

00:35.410 --> 00:37.299
deployment , most marines receive

00:37.299 --> 00:39.188
awards , but first sergeant comes

00:39.188 --> 00:41.466
actions were above and beyond the norm ,

00:41.466 --> 00:43.688
but for what he did that contributed to

00:43.688 --> 00:46.340
the combat success of the unit and

00:46.350 --> 00:48.294
marines , lives and taking care of

00:48.294 --> 00:50.406
marines , all that stuff . He did all

00:50.406 --> 00:52.670
those convoys that they own that piece

00:52.670 --> 00:54.448
of land right there during that

00:54.448 --> 00:56.670
operation . So the bad guys couldn't go

00:56.670 --> 00:59.120
plant i E D s in there . Who knows how

00:59.120 --> 01:01.120
many marines he's safe from getting

01:01.120 --> 01:03.287
hurt or maybe even killed and for that

01:03.287 --> 01:04.953
I think it's important . He's

01:04.953 --> 01:07.176
recognized with the bronze star . First

01:07.176 --> 01:09.009

01:23.090 --> 01:25.312
combs says he couldn't have done it all

01:25.312 --> 01:27.368
alone and the award is a reminder of

01:27.368 --> 01:29.201
the marines he worked with while

01:29.201 --> 01:31.257
deployed to me . It's an honor . You

01:31.257 --> 01:34.480

in all actuality just you remember the

01:36.657 --> 01:38.712
marines that were out there with you

01:38.712 --> 01:40.879
every time you see something like it ,

01:40.879 --> 01:43.101

01:43.101 --> 01:45.323
