Corporals David Qualls and Nathan Bryson saving the world
SJ sends us a link from WCTI in regards to Marine Corporals David Qualls and Nathan Bryson, 22 and 21 years old respectively who came upon an automobile accident. Larry Flesher was trapped in his burning SUV – Qualls and Bryson leaped into action;
Cpl. Qualls and Cpl. Bryson said they grabbed onto Flesher’s clothing and pulled him out through the back door of the burning vehicle to safety.
“As soon as we got him out, the flames went straight through the firewall and into the car and it just lit the whole thing up,” said Bryson.
Miles Bunn helped put the fire out with extinguishers. He watched in awe as the two young Marines went into action to save Flesher’s life.
When NewsChannel 12 asked Bunn how he would describe what he saw, he said it was heroic.
“Quitting wasn’t in their vocabulary. They weren’t going to leave a man behind,” Bunn said of the Marines.

Young Marines Qualls and Bryson are a big Bravo Zulu in my book. Way to go, way to be young men. Thank you for your service, in the Marines and in your community. God speed.
Well done, Marines. Damn well done.
Let’s hope someone from their chain-of-command sees this and arranges some appropriate and colorful public kudos for the pair.
Well done, Marines. Well done.
They should, indeed, get at least a letter of commendation in their service jackets.
Semper Fi Marines. Outstanding.
BRAVO ZULU, YOUNG WARRIORS!!
They definitely deserve some recognition from their CoC for that. They kept their heads on straight when the SHTF!
Rescuing from a burning automobile with flames at the firewall and risk of fuel explosion? The Navy Marine Corps Medal is certainly appropriate as it is “For heroism that involves the voluntary risk of life under conditions other than those of conflict with an opposing armed force.” Both should get this. Semper Fi, Marines.
Makes an old jarhead proud!! Well done hard chargers, well done!
Semper Fidelis!
