Staff Sgt. Keith Becker, a martial arts instructor trainer serving with Weapons Field Training Battalion, awards a tan belt to Justin Sekili, an 8-year-old native of Green Oaks, Ill., after training with the instructors during a visit to Edson Range here, March 28, 2013. Sekili has a heart defect that required him to undergo multiple open-heart surgeries. The Make-A-Wish Foundation helped Sekili achieve his dream of becoming a Marine for a day. Becker, a 26-year-old native of Long Island, N.Y., said Sekili never quit during any event, even when he was too small to get over the larger walls on the obstacle course.
