One of our LPRG RSOs was recognized by the California Highway Patrol for stopping along a highway and using his combat first aid training to help a young girl and her father injured in a crash.
Sgt. Kristopher Gallinatti, 26, said he was heading to a Fremont line dancing event on the evening of Feb. 1 when he got stuck in slow traffic on Interstate 680. He figured an accident was ahead.
Gallinatti, who served four years as an active-duty Marine, said his training kicked in. He created a tourniquet out of a T-shirt and applied it to the girl’s leg. Much of the bleeding stopped, he said. Gallinatti asked the woman to distract the girl, keeping her attention off of her wound.
