Two Marines who died while protecting others during a 2015 terrorist-shooting-rampage in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will receive the highest award for acts of non-combat heroism. Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Sullivan and Staff Sergeant David Wyatt will be posthumously awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal during a ceremony in Chattanooga on May 7th.
