    U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. John F. Kelliher III, commanding general of 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, speaks to the Douglas family after an award ceremony at Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, Oct. 20, 2023. Staff Sgt. Jairo Echeverry was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his courageous and selfless act on Oct. 22, 2021. Echeverry observed a vehicular collision caused by an intoxicated driver near Belle Chasse, Louisiana. Echeverry immediately pulled over and assessed the situation, he shattered the window of the first vehicle to assess its unconscious driver, while assessing the incapacitated driver. He heard pleas for help from a second vehicle. Echeverry immediately sprang into action and entered the second wrecked vehicle. He unbuckled the unconscious passenger and with the assistance of another witness, pulled a child to safety. Noticing that the child was not breathing and presented a weak pulse, Echeverry instructed nearby pedestrians to clear a path for him to begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation until emergency services arrived.
