It comes as no surprise that members of the Marine Corps are well-conditioned to respond in an emergency situation. That applies both on the battlefield and in civilian life. In the case of specialist Corporal Alexandra Nowak, it was on a freeway in Escondido, California, when a situation called upon her to react.
The Marine Corps is celebrating Corporal Nowak, who was off duty and driving along Interstate 15 to pick up her mother and daughter when she saw an SUV flip over after another vehicle crashed into it.
