    Cpl. Daniel J. Benjamin poses for a portrait Sept. 21, 2015 at Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan. Two weeks earlier Benjamin selflessly help save the life an injured tourist on Okinawa. On Aug. 31, Paula Genova was riding her bike when she lost control and was struck in the head by a tree branch. While losing a significant amount of blood and screaming for help, Benjamin came to her aid by taking her straight to the hospital. Benjamin recently received a 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 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.
