    Lance Cpl. Christopher J. Gray, a rifleman with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, peers through his rifle combat optic, which now has a hole through it caused by an insurgent's bullet. Gray's head was only six inches away from the impact when it struck his rifle during a firefight, May 15. Gray suffered a minor shrapnel wound to his face and continued to fight during the engagement. Gray, 20, is from Warner Robins, Ga.
