 I remember telling Dunham, hasty vehicle searchers. I could see he was listening to me, but he was also looking down the line of cars. He saw something. We come up on this white SUV. This feels like hitting the second door on a C.A. Dunham's got the gun on the ground and they're fighting. Jason was on top of him. He said, no, no, no, watch his hands. And the grenade went off. I turned to the chief, presented to my loved one, turned by Corporal Jason Dunham in mortal combat in Iraq. With this medal, we pay tribute to the courage and leadership of a man who represents the best of young Americans, a Marine who is not here today because he lived that commandment to the fullest.
