I'm Lance Corporal Savannah Mosby with your Marine Minute.
Cpl. David Qualls, a motor transport assistant operations chief with Marine Wing Support Squadron 471, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Forces Reserve, was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, May 20th, at 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment headquarters in Houston for his heroic actions at the scene of a car collision last year. According to Qualls' award summary, had he and another Marine not arrived when they did, the driver of one of the cars involved in the accident would have died.
