    It's because he's a Corpsman, they're commissioned by the Navy and then act as part of the Marine Corps, Marines see Corpsmen as fellow Marines because they're serving the Marines in a great way. And that's why it's being covered by the Marines.

Now, as a Dad to a young boy myself, I understand just a little more what loss and sacrifice means when you are a parent. What this man did was exemplary.

    Just for clarification.. Naval doctors get to the rank of lieutenant (O-3) and since he is a commander (0-5) the original comment stating that “he is probably a captain” means that he is, presumed to be now, a 0-6 ranked officer (or a colonel in any other branch).
