Trujillo, a Marine with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, was hit by a car on the Okinawa Expressway Dec. 1 while attempting to rescue a motorist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the three Marines who saved him are being recognized: Two Marines have been awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and a third has been recommended for an award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs I was driving down the expressway at about 4:30 a.m. local time, I almost hit a vehicle that was flipped over in the middle of the road,\u201d a Marine at the accident site said in a press release. The Marine pulled over to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trujillo had also pulled his vehicle over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaster Sgt. approached and asked if we were okay. I replied, \u2018Yes,\u2019 and he said, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m going to move my car,\u2019\u201d the Marine said in the press release. \u201cI saw a pair of headlights out of the corner of my eye as I turned to warn Master Sgt., but it was too late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trujillo was hit by the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lance Cpl. Eduardo Rosariomolina, a bulk fuel specialist with Bulk Fuel Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, attempted to direct traffic, while Cpl. Matthew Dungan, also a bulk fuel specialist, administered CPR. Sgt. Justin Erler, a heavy equipment operator with Headquarters and Service Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, also trained in CPR, helped stabilize the injured Marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4021403.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4021403.jpg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4021403.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4021403.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4021403.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,682 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4021403.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cpl.

Valerie Eppler, a III Marine Expeditionary Force spokeswoman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rosariomolina has been recommended for an award for directing traffic during the incident. That award is still pending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are claims that Trujillo pushed a motorist out of the way before he himself was hit by the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the process of helping out the motorist, he saw a car headed directly toward him and in an instant, MSgt Trujillo pushed the motorist out of the way and took the full brunt of the car,\u201d a 1<sup>st<\/sup> Marine Regiment Facebook post reads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But \u201cno witnesses have been able to confirm that he saved a local motorist before he was hit,\u201d Eppler said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Okinawa Marines rescued a Marine master sergeant who was struck by oncoming traffic  \u2015 while he was attempting to save someone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":49786,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":10,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["news","military-honor","good-news-report","newsletters"],"primary_category":""},"4":{"categories":["military-honor"],"primary_category":"military-honor"},"5":{"categories":["military-honor"],"primary_category":"military-honor"},"7":{"categories":["military-honor"],"primary_category":"military-honor"}}},"categories":[101,10,12,25,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3398],"class_list":["post-22863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-military-honor","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"CZ4JULYFRFBXXISJ2ACQEZB3N4","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/01\/23\/marines-recognized-for-rescuing-master-sergeant-struck-by-car\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
