PORTSMOUTH, Va. (NNS) -- One hundred twelve service members at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP), Va., received the Humanitarian Service Medal June 10 for deploying in support of Operation United Response Haiti, following the massive earthquake that hit the island nation in January 2010.
The medal was awarded to those who deployed within 41 nautical miles of Haiti.
Many of the medical center's recipients included doctors, nurses, corpsmen and others who provided care and support to injured Haitians on board hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20).
NMCP Commander Rear Adm. Alton L. Stocks also received the medal; he served as Joint Task Force Haiti surgeon before becoming commander of the medical center in May 2010.
