Marine Corps Reserve Cpl. Todd Corbin
Then-Lance Cpl. Corbin and his platoon responded to a call on May 7, 2005, to help block an insurgents’ retreat in Haditha, Iraq. A vehicle laden with IEDs sped toward the convoy and blew up between two of the Humvees as enemy fighters began firing upon the group. Corbin repositioned his vehicle to block the fire from hitting the wounded. He radioed in the situation, and began directing a counter-attack. Corbin then ran back and forth several times through the line of fire recovering dead or wounded personnel, firing at the enemy, and loaded them into his Humvee. Once he had everyone loaded, he drove his damaged truck through the kill zone to deliver the casualties to the battle aid station. Corbin was awarded the Navy Cross on April 12, 2006.
