If the wounded Marine does not get the Purple Heart... I will not be surprised.

They're going to be awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, I'm sure.

That medal is in league with the Silver Star, only it's the highest decoration for non-combat life-saving or other heroic peacetime exploits. It's higher than the Bronze Star.

The US Marine Corps is going to make a pretty big deal about these Marines, you better believe.

May they recover quickly. Semper Fi, bros.
