Medina, a combat photographer, and Lance Cpl. Jacob Hug, a combat videographer,both assigned to Marine Corps Installations Pacific, who were on board a UH-1Y Huey helicopter with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469 that crashed during a humanitarian assistance mission after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, 2015, killing nearly 9,000 people and injuring 22,000 more. This year marks the fourth iteration of the Medina-Hug Memorial 5K Run, the memory of these Marines and the sacrifice they made continues to live on with the Marines and Sailors of Marine Corps Installations Pacific and across the world.
