Regimental Combat Team 6
Story by Sgt. Alfred V. Lopez
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – On a late Thursday afternoon, Staff Sgt. Javier Acosta, a platoon sergeant with Charlie Company, 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, and Sgt. Ronny Pool, a platoon sergeant with Headquarters and Service Company, Headquarters Battalion, 1st Marine Division, were both on their routine commute to their respective homes on Sept. 27, 2012.
As they slowed to a stop at an intersection of Winchester Road in Temecula, Calif., both Marines noticed a change in the traffic pattern. They scanned their surroundings for the cause and quickly noticed that a motorcycle accident occurred near the intersection.
Without hesitation, Acosta, a native of Santa Clarita, Calif., and Pool, a native of De Soto, Kan., snapped into action toward the scene of chaos. Unbeknownst to them, their actions over the next 30 minutes would save a man’s life.
