Marine officers Major Robert S. Weiler and Capt. Christopher J. Bronzi display their Silver Star Awards after a ceremony where they both were presented the honor by 1st Marine Division commanding general Maj. Gen. Richard F. Natonski at Camp Pendleton Dec. 13. The Marine officers from 2nd Battalion , 4th Marines, 5th Marine Regiment received their award for their actions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom II last year. When isolated and outnumbered, Bronzi commanded his Marines from a rooftop in a deadly assault which contributed to the elimination of 250 insurgents. Weiler led the quick reaction force that aided Bronzi while he was cornered and directed his men on various occasions to counterattack the enemy while facing a barrage of bullets.
