Lance Cpl. Abigail Rodriguezpabon received a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal at MCB Quantico on June 20 for her heroic response to a multi-vehicle accident on May 8.
While driving on Richmond Highway, the pay clerk with Security Battalion stopped to assist after spotting the crash. She checked on victims, applied a tourniquet to a severely injured passenger’s leg, and used Marine Corps training to help him regain consciousness.
Rodriguezpabon stayed until emergency responders arrived, ensuring all casualties were evacuated. Her quick thinking and bravery were praised, with her mother noting her actions helped someone return home safely.
Semper Fi, Marine! 🫡
