Description
English: Cpl. Jeff Globis� split-second decision to verbally warn near-by Marines and Iraqi soldiers of an approaching suicide bomber while he was standing post at a military outpost in Iraq�s Al Anbar Province allowed others to avoid a potentially life-threatening explosion. Globis, a native of Winthrop Harbor, Ill., is a U.S. Marine currently serving with the Hawaii-based 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment in Iraq. Manning an observation point at the combat outpost, the 23-year-old infantryman saw a speeding truck break through the base�s protective barriers. Globis opened fire on the vehicle, which was loaded with hundreds of pounds of explosives, and warned others to take cover � acts which many here say saved their lives. �Globis saved several peoples� lives that day,� said Staff Sgt. Richard Charley, a platoon sergeant.� �He eliminated the driver of that vehicle before he could penetrate further into the compound and completely destroy the building.�
