    Corporal Theodore J. Crisswell, a field radio operator with Headquarters Battery, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, joined the Marine Corps in September 2008. The Waukon, Iowa, native was approximately 120 pounds upon graduation from high school, which raised doubt in his peers’ minds whether he could finish recruit training. The fire team leader with the battery proved his skeptics wrong and is now serving his first combat tour to Afghanistan.
