Corporal Jason Clairday jumped a 4 foot gap between houses 3 stories up to rescue a wounded Marine on the roof of an enemy stronghold in Fallujah. He then fiercely led multiple assaults to take the house, suffering mortal wounds. For his incredible determination and heroism, Clairday was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

"...serving as Fire Team Leader, 1st Squad, 2d Platoon, Company K, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 12 December 2004. While conducting a security sweep in the Askari District of Al Fallujah, a platoon-sized insurgent force engaged 3d Platoon. Cpl Clairday immediately repositioned his men and jumped a four foot gap three stories up onto the roof of the enemy stronghold where a mortally wounded Marine lay, isolated by the enemy. After throwing several fragmentation grenades, Cpl Clairday fiercely led the attack into the house. He was immediately hit with enemy AK-47 rifle fire in both legs and fell into the kill zone. Under heavy enemy fire, he continued to aggressively engage the enemy while extracting himself from the doorway. Without regard for his own wounds, he rejoined the squad making entry and entered the house a second time. Once inside, he took control of the stack and repositioned himself in the front while suppressing the enemy using fragmentation grenades and his rifle. Again, without concern for his own safety, Cpl Clairday led the Marines into the room where he single-handedly attacked the insurgents and received mortal wounds. His courageous actions enabled reinforcing assault elements to destroy the insurgent position. By his outstanding display of decisive leadership, unlimited courage in the face of heavy enemy fire, and utmost devotion to duty, Corporal Clairday reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service."

Questions for pistol owners:

How do you carry your pistol?

What position do you carry in?

How many spare mags do you carry and why?

Can you explain sight alignment?

Can you explain sight picture for your pistol? (They aren't all the same)

How do you reset your trigger?

What type of ammo do you carry?

What grip do you use?

Why did you choose that particular pistol?

If you couldn't answer all of these immediately, you desperately need to attend my 1 day course.

Lance Corporal Michael Hanks drug a wounded Marine to safety, then directed a SMAW rocket into a house, killing 4 insurgents. When a 5th tried to escape, Hanks drew his pistol and killed him too. Two days later, Hanks watched as two insurgents shot a fellow Marine then tried to run. Hanks exposed himself to heavy fire and killed both insurgents, then carried the Marine to safety, saving his life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One week later, Hanks again charged into enemy fire while clearing more houses in Fallujah. During one firefight in an enemy stronghold, he was mortally wounded. For his constant heroism and courage, Hanks was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, which should have been a Navy Cross.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"...serving as Fire Team Leader, 1st Platoon, Lima Company, Third Battalion, First Marine Regiment, from 8 to 17 November 2004. While clearing enemy strong points during intense urban combat, LCpl Hanks' team was ambushed and two Marines were mortally wounded. With complete disregard for his own safety, he placed his body toward the enemy and dragged his remaining Marine out of the impact zone. Quickly assessing the situation, he directed a SMAW rocket into the enemy stronghold, eliminating four insurgents. As a remaining insurgent attempted to escape, LCpl Hanks drew his pistol and eliminated him. Continuing the attack, LCpl Hanks came upon two armed insurgents preparing to ambush passing friendly units. He quickly engaged the enemy, killing both insurgents. On 10 November 2004, LCpl Hanks identified two escaping terrorists who had wounded a fellow Marine. He courageously exposed himself to a hail of enemy fire and killed the two terrorists at close range. As heavy enemy fire continued to impact around him, he retrieved and carried the wounded Marine to safety. On 17 November 2004, again disregarding his own safety, he bravely charged into a heavily-fortified enemy position. During the ensuing firefight, LCpl Hanks was mortally wounded."
