The award will be presented to the family of Sgt. David Neil Wimberg on Aug. 20 at his former unit, Columbus, Ohio-based Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines.
Wimberg, 24, was killed in Hadithah, Iraq, on May 25, 2005.
His brother, Mike Wimberg, said their parents, Denny and Tricia Wimberg of Louisville, plan to accept the award.

BY ludwick on Aug 14, 2008 | | | | Don't think of Dave as gone away, his journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of Dave as resting from sorrow and tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years. Think of how he must be wishing today, how nothing but your sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched and he was loved so much.-- N.J.C. from Louisville, Ky.
