Historic Submission: SGT Marquees Quick's Medal of Honor Packet Officially Filed. Now It's Time to Rally Support

# Honoring the Heroism of Sergeant Marquees Antwon Quick: A Call to Action for Medal of Honor Recognition

## A Momentous Submission

On this momentous day, January 1, 2026, I am proud to announce that the complete Medal of Honor packet for Sergeant Marquees Antwon Quick has been officially submitted to the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) for initial review. This packet, years in the making, details SGT Quick's extraordinary heroism on August 19, 2006, in Ramadi, Iraq. He deliberately positioned himself to absorb the blasts from four enemy grenades, saving the lives of his three teammates at the ultimate cost.

## The Heroic Act

SGT Quick, serving with 2nd Platoon, F Troop, 1st Cavalry Regiment (BRT), 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division, was on a rooftop overwatch mission when insurgents launched a coordinated attack. Positioned closest to the stairwell, a clear escape route, he instead advanced toward the grenades, shielding his teammates. His selfless act preserved their lives and the unit's combat effectiveness amid relentless enemy fire, including RPGs and small arms.

## New Evidence and Support

This submission is bolstered by new evidence uncovered in 2023 and updated in 2025. This includes sworn statements, a detailed 3D reconstruction report, and endorsements from military leaders. Although SGT Quick was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart at the time, the fog of war and operational demands delayed full recognition of his valor. His actions mirror those of Medal of Honor recipients like Cpl. Jason Dunham and PO2 Michael Monsoor.

## Congressional Support

Key developments in this effort include:

• Congressional representatives have sent letters to the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff, urging an official review.

• The Vietnam Veterans of America has forwarded a letter requesting Senate support to key leaders in Alabama, SGT Quick's home state.
