Marine Repels Attack, Gives Life In The Process

Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin and his fellow marines were in the process of searching buildings in Fallujah, when they were attacked in one of the bloodiest battles in the war.  That morning Austin and his fellow marines were attacked from three directions.  They faced grenades and thousands of rounds from AK-47s.  The marines were in danger of being overrun. 

 

Austin assisted evacuating injured men and led other Marines onto a nearby roof where he used a machine gun to battle the enemy.  With the enemy advancing, he took a grenade from his vest and exposed himself to enemy fire in order to get into a better throwing position.   Several bullets hit him in the chest.  But he kept going.  He threw his grenade onto an adjacent roof killing many militants and forcing them to halt their attack.
