MHS grad is recovering from war injury
Staff Sgt. Lawrence Salcido only had two weeks to go, before boarding a plane home to his wife and three daughters in Southern California. Instead, the former Coos Bay man was flown to Germany — in a back brace.
“The only thing I remember was hearing yelling,” Salcido said.
He learned later it was his own howling.
The 1993 Marshfield High School graduate was seven months into his fourth combat deployment, this one to Afghanistan. But Oct. 12 stands out. It was a long night, interrupted by three bombings. A few fellow Marines were badly injured.
