I am continuing the profiling of great Marines from yesterday with this Fox News story on September 11 rescuer Jason Thomas.

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? An ex-Marine identified five years after risking his life to save two police officers at the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 attacks says he deserves no special recognition.

“I just feel privileged to have been able to help,” Jason Thomas told hundreds of people gathered Wednesday to honor him at the Ohio Supreme Court, where he now works as a security officer. He said many other first- and second-responders at ground zero, including many who lost their lives, were more worthy of being singled out.

Sergeant Thomas is a true hero. He and Staff Sergeant Karnes risked their lives just doing the right thing. Marines have always been America?s first response to attack and calls for help, no matter their current duty status. Their efforts helped save two men from certain death. That is what Marines do.

Semper Fidelis, Sergeant Thomas.
