    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. George Russo, a Manchester Township, New Jersey, native and a rifleman with 2d Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division, poses for a photo during an awards ceremony on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, June 16, 2022. Russo was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for his heroic actions on June 11, 2022. While on liberty in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Russo witnessed a car accident involving five cars. With the tactical first aid kit in his glove box, Russo provided first aid to multiple injured people until first responders arrived.
    “All riflemen are trained with lifesaving skills but it was my superiors who really provided me the opportunity to get better and know what to do in any situation,” said Russo.
