Cpl. Daniel J. Benjamin Jr. poses for a photo with Paula Genova at the U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa, Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, Sept. 14, 2015, two weeks after saving her life from a substantial head injury. On Aug. 31, Paula was riding her bike when she lost control and was struck in the head by a tree branch. After she lost a significant amount of blood and had been screaming for help, Benjamin came to her aid by taking her straight to the hospital. Benjamin recently received a unit challenge coin from the III Marine Expeditionary Force sergeant major, Sgt. Maj. Lee D. Bonar Jr., for his selfless act. Paula is a tourist from Manila, Philippines. Benjamin, a native of Corning, New York, is a digital wideband repair Marine with Marine Wing Communication Squadron 18, Marine Air Control Group 18, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
