Jason’s Legacy

20 years ago today, Medal of Honor recipient Cpl. Jason Dunham succumbed to wounds he sustained when he heroically dove on an enemy grenade - sacrificing his life for his fellow Marines.
In honor of his memory, Marines and Sailors with Marine Security Force Battalion Kings Bay host the Dunham Challenge each year, a rigorous fitness event held in remembrance of Dunham and his selfless sacrifice.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Dustin Rose and 1stSgt Joseluis Mejia, two Marines who served in the same battalion as Dunham in 2004, speak on his character and his noble devotion to his Marines.

He was even born on the Marine Corps' birthday. A Marine from birth.

A man dies twice, when their spirit leaves their body, and when their name is spoken for the last time.

I was thinking of this very verse as well.

[@watchthe1369]

He did it right, saved his people while going down like a warrior and did it smart like a Marine. We all know a helmet and vest isn't enough, it is going to take a willing scarifice. He is walking the beat on the golden streets.

I've only been able to find clips on UA-cam of the documentary. Online, the documentary is said to be played on streaming platforms. The book is available on Amazon. I served in kilo 3/7 on this deployment, but was in 2nd platoon, not with Jason in 4th. Didn't know him personally since I was a boot and he was senior to me. From what I've read from the book, and seen in the documentary, it's very accurate and well done. A worthy tribute to the best of us
