Good morning sir, I don't have any award records in my files from 2002 that would serve as a source document to be used by our Commanding Officer to certified this award. Mr. Scott from the awards branch at HQMC informed me that in this case the best course of action would be to get a letter from the Commanding Officer that approved this award back in 2002 stating that this award was approved and deliverd to SNM in a formation. Mr. Scott can be reached at (703) 784-9340. If you have any questions please let me know. -----Original Message----- From: Hur Capt Christian P Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 7:58 To: Rodriguezabreu SSgt Wandy O Cc: BritoJL@yahoo.com; Faraj, Haytham Subject: Sgt Jose Brito OVSM SSgt Rodriquezabreu, I'm assisting Sgt Brito in having his OSVM properly put into his records. I understand that he's been in touch with you. Based on the attached, my understanding and belief is that Sgt Brito was awarded the OVSM at Yuma in 2002 in a unit formation. The award was never put into 3270 though or his OMPF. I've been briefed that Sgt Brito has been informed by everyone including his current OIC Maj Dodd at MCRD as well as HQMC that Sgt Brito's old unit at Yuma needs to run the award. I've attached documentation showing proof that he rates the award. Please brief your adjutant and higher as appropriate. Please call me if I can be of assistance. I've cc'd Sgt Brito on this email, as well as Maj Faraj, ret., a civilian attorney that is helping Sgt Brito too. Thanks. Christian P.

To Whom it May Concern:
My name is Lauren Eshelman. I worked at MCAS Yuma, Arizona for Crash Fire Rescue from 2000 through 2003. During that time I was a Corporal for the Administration department for Crash Fire Rescue. Brito was a mechanic for CFR during that time.
In December of 2002, Brito recieved a Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal in a formal formation, for his outstanding volunteer work. I witnessed Brito volunteer for Young Marines, color guard, toys for tots and Burial detail. This award was typed up by myself while working in the administration department.
After recieving the MOVSM Brito was transferred to Okinawa, Japan.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. My email is eshlit@hotmail.com. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Lauren Eshelman (Corporal USMC/Crash Fire Rescue)
