Lance Cpl. Frank Martin, 24, from Avon Lake, Ohio, has a stitch in his thigh checked by a corpsman at the Combined Aid Station aboard Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, July 12. Martin, an infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, was wounded when an improvised explosive device detonated while he was on a foot patrol in northern Marjah. He received shrapnel wounds to his thighs, forearm and neck. Since his anticipated recovery time was short, Martin was stitched up and sent to the newly-established Wounded Warrior facility at Camp Leatherneck to allow his wounds time to heal so he could return to his deployed unit within a couple weeks. The Wounded Warrior facility, comprised of several large berthing tents located just 50-feet from the medical clinic, allows corpsmen to monitor outpatient care for service members with minor war wounds so they can heal and get back to their units.
