Meriting the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal


Retired Navy captain David Schnell serves as the general manager of the Americas Commercial & State Transportation Group’s Los Angeles Express Lanes program. In his days of active duty, Captain David Schnell received several military honors including the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal. 

The Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal is awarded to persons who distinguish themselves through meritorious service or heroic acts during their time in the Navy or the Marine Corps. The act or service must be performed exceptionally well and above what is normally expected, and in a way that distinguishes the person from others providing the same services. 

Specifically, the commendation medal is awarded for the following:

- Meritorious achievement that deserves special recognition and contributes to the Naval Service, such as an invention or improvement in an existing design or procedure. 

-Meritorious service that deserves special recognition, is well above what is expected of individuals in a similar grade or rate, and is above the degree expected considering the individual’s fitness reports and performance evaluations. 

-Acts of heroism that deserve special mention. 

The qualifying acts of heroism or meritorious achievement or service must be outstanding, but not to a degree warranting higher-ranked medals in each of the circumstances.
