    Lance Cpl. Frank Martin, 24, from Avon Lake, Ohio, an infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, was wounded when an improvised explosive device detonated while he was on a foot patrol in northern Marjah. He received shrapnel wounds to his legs, forearm and neck. Since his anticipated recovery time was short, Martin was stitched up and sent to the newly-established Wounded Warrior facility at Camp Leatherneck to allow his wounds time to heal so he could return to his deployed unit. About two weeks after he arrived, his stitches were removed and he returned to 2/6 in Marjah, July 28.
