Two Marines received the Navy Cross for bravery in Afghanistan in separate ceremonies Friday May 18th 2012.
The awards were made to Sgt. Clifford Wooldridge of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment at Twentynine Palms, and Sgt. Christopher Farias of the 1st Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment at Camp Pendleton.
Farias, 26, of La Porte, Texas, was cited for saving the lives of Marines by leading an “immediate and aggressive tactical response” to a Taliban ambush on a Marine outpost in Helmand province on Oct. 5, 2010. Farias continued to fight despite being wounded by shrapnel to his neck, shoulder and back and suffering a severe concussion and broken clavicle.
“His fearless leadership and presence of mind, with enemy fire impacting all around him, repelled the enemy’s initial assault,” according to the official citation.
Wooldridge, 22, of Port Angeles, Wash., was a vehicle commander when his convoy came under enemy fire on June 18, 2010. He led four Marines in outflanking 15 Taliban fighters killing eight of them and scattering the rest. Out of ammunition, Wooldridge wrestled a machine gun away from a Taliban and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with his enemy, killing him.
Wooldridge was cited for “his bold actions and his courage under fire which disrupted the enemy attack on his platoon.”
