[USMCGrunt]

Lt Cranford earns the Navy and Marine Corps medal. It is the highest decoration for valor in a noncombat situation. The award is considered higher than a Bronze Star and just below the Distinguished Flying Cross in order of precedence.

How about that midshipman earning the same award for heroism?

OUTSTANDING!
