Excerpt from MarineTimes (By Irene Loewenson):
Lance Cpl. Eduardo Galicia was standing duty on the midnight shift at the U.S. embassy in Georgetown, Guyana.
It was approximately 2:30 a.m. on July 1. The Marine security guard got a call from the embassy’s front control center: A local guard was having a medical emergency. Galicia came running.
Galicia, 21, ended up saving the local guard from dying of an apparent heart attack, thanks to “muscle memory” that the Marine attributed to his military training.
