CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — A Marine from Florida who led Iraqi soldiers in two battles has earned the military’s fourth-highest combat award.

Capt. Christopher D. Wills received the Bronze Star on Wednesday during a ceremony at Camp Lejeune.

The Marines say Wills fought with valor on two occasions as a Military Transition Team leader with the First Iraqi Army Division. In April, he held his ground so Iraqi soldiers could escape, and the next day kept his men safe during a mortar barrage.

Wills is 37 and from Apopka, Fla.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
