There can be no responsibility more frightening than keeping men safe in warfare.
Sometimes doing so requires great sacrifice.
Sometimes there are those willing and able to respond.
1st Lt Dan T Malcolm Jr, 25, of Brinson, Ga, of Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment was one such man.
Here is the story of his bravery and death:
Extraordinary valour
I have been told that the biggest fear in war is not dying, but that the biggest fear is panicking and letting your buddies down when they need you. Well, Leuitenant Dan overcame this fear and sacrificed his life to protect his men. On his last day Dan's men saw leadership, courage, and love.
May they remember the love most of all and may Dan rest in peace.
