Seaman Jordan Baker, a hospital corpsman in support
Summary
Seaman Jordan Baker, a hospital corpsman in support of Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, hands out candy to a group of kids during an operation to surge the Sareagar Village, Aug. 25. The two-day operation increased the Coalition forces presence throughout the village and enabled the Marines to focus on interacting with the population. The Walnut Creek, Calif., native and 2006 graduate of Las Lomas High School is deployed to Sangin District, Afghanistan, on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. “I definitely feel like I am doing a lot more deployed on 9/11 than my friends back home,” said Baker, who was wound in action last month. “It’s a sense of patriotism that the majority of Americans will never feel.”
