FEMALE MARINE AWARDED FOR LIFE-SAVING ACTIONS
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort --
She was driving home with her daughter and as she turned into her neighborhood the car ahead of her slammed on the breaks and swerved, hitting two boys on their bicycles.
“If I wasn’t a Marine, I would not have known what to do at all. It was instinct and I hope that any one of us would have done the same thing.”
Sgt. Samantha Alexander, Distribution Management Office freight NCOIC, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort
Sgt. Samantha Alexander, Distribution Management Office freight noncommissioned officer in charge aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal on Nov. 13 for saving the life of a local teenager April 25, 2019.
Alexander pulled safely off the road, and began to approach the scene. As she was getting closer, she noticed that the woman who had hit the two boys was standing over them screaming frantically, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!” Another gentleman ran to attend to one of the boys, so Alexander helped the other.
“While I started talking to the (boy), I asked him his name, how old he was and I told him who I was. He said he had just got released from high school, and they were riding their bikes home.” Recent Threads Title, Username, & Date Last Post Replies Views CuttingScores, 04-29-2404-29-240 208 madsox, 08-04-1604-25-242698 1258231 dck9man, 09-30-1004-16-241 1093 7mmmag, 10-24-1704-07-2412 22823 Remijan James, 04-05-2404-07-241 607 Marine1955, 09-13-1504-07-245 36248 Mongoose, 04-01-2404-06-249 36 Remijan James, 04-05-2404-05-240 460 USMC 2571, 04-04-2404-05-241 1100 ejenkinson95, 04-02-2404-02-240 426
