Sgt. Emerita L. Torres, second from right, is a 25-year-old food services specialist with Marine Wing Support Group 27 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C. Torres witnessed a vehicle swerve toward oncoming traffic, before hitting a median and flipping upside down into a ditch Sept. 8, 2010. Torres approached the vehicle and noticed the driver, who was pregnant, was frantic and seemed to be stuck. Torres immediately dialed 911 and with the help of a fellow Marine, pulled the pregnant driver from the vehicle to her feet, while doing her best to keep her calm. It's not necessarily about just being a Marine, explained Torres, but a human being and putting yourself in another person's shoes.
