Lance Cpl. Phillip Cutler, infantryman, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment is pinned with a Purple Heart medal at Lance Cpl. Torrey L. Gray Field Aug. 26, 2013. The Marines earned the medals for their actions while deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Marines' resistant, ambush-protected vehicle was hit by an 80-pound improvised explosive device Feb. 2, 2013. “The Purple Heart was established by Gen. George Washington and is a very respected medal,” Smith said. “We have a lot of good Marines in this unit and we will continue to do what we are trained to do.”
