Lance Cpl. Alyssa David answer questions from local media at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, January 22, 2021. Davis, a native of Bridgeport, Connecticut, serves as a maintenance administrative specialist at Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 167. On the night of September 25, 2020, David came upon the scene of a vehicle collision where a tractor trailer struck a truck along Kinston Highway in Jacksonville, North Carolina. She immediately took charge of the scene, directed bystanders to call 911, and was able to triage and extract a toddler from the backseat of the vehicle. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
