Courtesy of the Daily Home Online, a local Marine is being honored for his actions in Iraq.
Billy “Trey” Cosper III received a combat meritorious promotion from lance corporal to corporal, based on his performance in direct combat with the enemy in Iraq.
“This was a big honor, as all regular promotions are, meritorious promotions even more so,” said Lt. Col. Sean Riordan, who recommended Cosper for promotion. Riordan said combat meritorious promotions are unique.
“This means he was eligible based on his performance in direct combat with the enemy and he was chosen for promotion ahead of his peers,” Riordan said. “Not many Marines will ever achieve this.”
