PRIVATE FIRST CLASS MARCUS GOOD
UNITED STATES ARMY
FOR heroism on 3 and 4 October 1993, while serving as a Chalk Medic for Company B, 3d Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment during operations in Mogadishu, Somalia. On the fast rope insertion, a fellow ranger suffered a C-spine injury. Private First Class Good stabilized, immobilized and extracted his fallen comrade under fire. Though the extraction vehicle was engaged all the way to the rear, he kept his Ranger buddy alive. Private First Class Good’s dedication to duty and total disregard for personal safety reflects great credit on him and the United States Army.
