Captain Jason Vose

A Marine Force Recon officer deployed to the Joint Interagency Task Force West in the Philippines, Captain Jason Vose volunteered to deploy to Kuwait, and then was assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in Iraq. Captain Vose had earlier completed certification as an Emergency Medical Technician on his off-duty time, and when his unit was attacked by the enemy, he personally administered emergency aid to the seriously wounded, staying with his Marines even during the evacuation flight to the field hospital. While this third generation Marine has served in several hot spots, he's just as comfortable acting as Santa to needy kids and coordinating a toy drive with local radio stations and newspapers back home.
