Heroism of Marines in Iraq battle



Mark Walker of North County Times describes how four Marines were awarded Silver Stars in one battle.

...

A fifth man, Lance Cpl. Joshua Mooi, who charged into the ambush six times to rescue four Marines and kill at least four attackers, was awarded the Navy Cross, the second-highest award a Marine can earn for valor in combat.

...
I would like to se more on Mooi's actions. Walker does have a pretty good description of the acts that earned the Silver Stars. Semper fi Marines.
