Warrior Highlights:  "Cpl.

His contributions lead to immeasurable improvements in the operational effectiveness of MAG-41 Det. A and HMM-764. His dedication and commitment was displayed by constantly taking the extra step to go above and beyond providing the squadron with the best support possible. He maintained personnel liaison with MAG-41 Det A's Aviation supply which better enabled him to process high priority requisitions."
