Bernstein, a 28-year-old native of Wilmette, Ill., and a 2004 graduate of Lake Forest Academy, led Marines during multinational exercises in Australia in 2013, including Exercise Talisman Sabre and Exercise Koolendong.

His dedication helped the Marines succeed during an eight-month deployment to Okinawa, Japan, as part of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. Bernstein is also a recipient of the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with combat V for valor, the Combat Action Ribbon and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
