The battalion has also submitted a Marine for the Medal of Honor from the Global War on Terror. Corporal Jason Dunham was submitted for the award by Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lopez, the battalion commander during the unit's deployment to Al Qaim in the summer of 2004. Corporal Dunham died from wounds sustained while attempting to save several Marines from a hand grenade thrown by the enemy. As of September 2006, the award is still pending.
