Let Capt. Fiust know how proud you are in the comments.
Capt. Daniel Fiust, a Marine Attack Squadron 513 AV-8B Harrier pilot and a native of San Carlos, recently received the Bronze Star Medal at his squadron's hangar at MCAS Yuma, according to a statement.
"I just felt like I was doing my job," Fiust said. "It was great to have support from 513." One of Fiust's highlights included ground-air coordination in taking out a sniper team pinning down a group of Marines.
His responsibilities range anywhere from air strikes to airborne medical evacuations.

Hi, Capt. Fiust. Thanks for dedicating your life to a profession that allows me to be able to bike to work without the fear of being blown up. I am curious: When you were coordinating the ground-air team, was it like playing a video game?
