Col. Ricardo Player (center), the Force Headquarters Group chief of staff, Marine Forces Reserve, speaks to the family of Cpl. Nathan Bryson (left), a Marine Corps veteran who most recently served as a motor transport operator for Headquarters and Support Battalion, School of Infantry East, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, after he was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal in Brook Park, Ohio, April 13, 2017. Bryson was awarded the medal for his actions in 2014 when he and a fellow Marine saved a man from a burning vehicle. The medal is considered the highest medal one can achieve outside of combat and is often times given for daring and selfless acts that put a person in harm’s way. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl.
