Cpl. Brian E. Babineau, a Gardner, Mass., native and a warehouse clerk with Supply Company, 2nd Supply Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, shakes hands with Lt. Col. Jesse A. Kemp, the commanding officer of Supply Battalion, after receiving the Navy Commendation Medal for saving a young girl's life at North Topsail Beach, N.C., July 14, 2013 at an award ceremony at the French Creek barracks aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., January 10, 2014. Babineau swam out into the ocean and brought back the young girl who was being drifted away by a rip current.
CAMP LEJEUNE. N.C. -With the arrival of the weekend, Marines and their friends gathered together to head to North Topsail Beach, N.C.
This particular Saturday couldn’t be a better day to hit the beach. The sky was clear and the sun was radiant, calmed by the sound of crashing waves.
It was a relaxing way to enjoy a summer weekend.
In the midst of the calm and relaxing weekend Cpl. Brian E. Babineau, a Gardner, Mass., native and a warehouse clerk with Supply Company, 2nd Supply Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and his friends were lying on the beach when they heard a scream.
The Marines stood up, curious of where the scream came from.
“An older woman yelled from next to us ‘help there is a girl drowning out there’,” said Babineau. “As soon as I heard that I started to run to the water and dove in.”
Without hesitation Babineau swam to the young girl screaming from far out in the ocean.
