Marine saves five people from drowning off Okinawa beach
By: Jeff Schogol   1 day ago
While out for a walk Nov. 24, 1st Lt. John C. Dixon IV rescued one Okinawan, three American students and a police officer from a riptide in Okinawa, Japan.
It was the day after Thanksgiving, and 1st Lt. John Dixon and his wife had been walking on a seawall on the western side of Okinawa, Japan, when they were flagged down by Japanese police trying to determine if some swimmers were in danger.
When they heard a woman in the surf scream for help, it was game time, said Dixon, a network operations officer with the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing.
