While he and his fellow Marines provided security for a recent convoy in the Al Anbar Province just outside the city of Fallujah, Lance Cpl. Timothy A. Harvey, a machine gunner with Security Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 5, was injured in an improvised explosive device attack. He walked away with minimal injuries; a few pieces of shrapnel are being expelled from his right eye socket by his body's natural recovery system. Harvey, a 21-year-old native of Colusa, Calif., and the rest of Security Company have performed hundreds of missions since arriving here earlier this year, as CLB 5 serves a vital role of logistical support in the region.
