CAMP HURRICANE POINT Ar Ramadi, Iraq (Aug. 3, 2005) -Corporal Michael T. Wheat,(left) a mortar man with 4th Platoon, Company W, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, and Capt. Michael J. Butler, Company W's commander, pin corporal chevrons on the collar of Joseph P. Nagel's blouse during a ceremony here Aug. 2. Nagel, a 22-year-old machine gunner with 4th Platoon and Dousman, Wis., native, was combat meritoriously promoted to the rank of corporal and received two Purple Hearts during the ceremony. Nagel was wounded June 15 and July 1 while conducting security and stability operations with his fellow Marines in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. An enemy bullet hit Nagel in the left forearm and shrapnel from an improvised explosive caught him in the left hand. He was riding in the turret of a humvee manning a MK-19 Grenade Launcher during both close calls, which resulted in minor injuries. Nagel is two-time veteran of the fighting in Iraq. He was with 1st Battalion, 5th Marines last year for OIF II, fought in Fallujah and made it out unscathed. Photo by: Cpl. Tom Sloan
