Lance Cpl. Jesse Pearsall, 20, from Gloucester, Va., is awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal by Capt. Todd Richardson, the Echo Company commander with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, for his decisive thinking and quick response to a car accident. “They didn’t have to stop,” said Joseph Burger, a platoon commander with 2nd Bn., 8th Marines. “They could’ve been like every person who drove by, but they didn’t, and that’s what sets them apart from others.”
