Then they stuck around and helped do some general organizing. Lots of fun and laughter! SOT introduced them to a lunch of pool hall hot dogs! The particular facility is supposed to be briefly closed post-holiday crunch, but has had many, many tasks every day accommodating various movements. All Together Now!®
Kailua, Hawaii. (March 18, 2024): A victim of a motorcycle crash is alive today thanks to the quick response and cool nerves of a U.S. Marine. In this photo by Lance Corporal Logan Beeney, Lance Corporal Kayden Cardona, an aircraft maintenance support equipment electrician, is awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal by his commanding officer Colonel William Heiken. Cardona is assigned to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 24, Marine Aircraft Group 24, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing based at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay. An Arlington, Texas native, Cardona came upon a terrifying motorcycle accident on January 26, 2024, and his decisive efforts are credited with saving the victim’s life. Hailed as a hero by local authorities, Cardona humbly attributed his response to being in the right place at the right time.
He was commended for his remarkable courage in providing vital emergency medical care to the injured rider who was struck by a car travelling in the opposite direction. The rider was ejected from his bike and suffered significant trauma to his head and left leg. According to his citation, Cardona “without hesitation sprang into action to provide aid by using his belt to fashion a tourniquet to stop the bleeding from the rider’s injured leg.” Drawing upon his training in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), Cardona enlisted the assistance of a nearby Marine to monitor the rider’s breathing while he continued to assess the victim for additional injuries.
