 LCpl Navy Cross

Company B, 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, 1st Marine Division

In a rare gesture, Marine Cpl. Dominic Esquibel declined the Navy Cross he earned on Nov. 25, 2004, as a scout sniper. On that day, he destroyed two enemy machine gun nests and saved two of five Marines who lay wounded in a Fallujah courtyard. Marine Lt. Col. Curtis Hill says Esquibel turned down the award "for personal reasons." Hill declined to elaborate.
