Record Text
![]() During Mission Bloodstone, 1st platoon was tasked with assaulting Objective Gold. Amid intense enemy fire and significant casualties within the assault element, SPC Marsh observed SGT Poynor go down and, without hesitation, braved hostile fire to carry him to safety. Without regard for his own safety, he reentered the compound three additional times, each under sustained heavy machine gunfire, to extract wounded comrades: SSG Fives, PV2 Anderson, and PFC Montana. SPC Marsh’s relentless dedication to his fellow soldiers, under fire and in extreme danger, directly contributed to the survival of four wounded personnel and preserved the unit’s combat effectiveness during a critical phase of the operation. His actions exemplify the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 3rd Infantry Division, and the United States Army. |
