Quantico Police Officer Eric Holland was named the Junior Civilian of the Fourth Quarter for exceptional performance of his duties while serving as a police officer, Provost Marshal’s Office, Security Battalion, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, from Oct. 1, 2017 to Dec. 31, 2017 On Oct. 14, 2017, his decisiveness and quick action saved the life of a juvenile boy having an allergic reaction who was minutes away from losing his ability to breathe. The boy’s airway was quickly closing when he and his sister arrived at the Marine Corps Base Quantico main gate seeking directions to the closest hospital. Rather than take the easy route and providing directions to Stafford or Potomac Hospital, Officer Holland assessed the situation, determined the boy needed immediate medical attention and radioed for emergency medical services (EMS) to report to his location. While awaiting the arrival of EMS, he provided calm and composed support to both the victim and his sister. Upon the boy's arrival at the emergency room, the doctor noted the boy was only a few minutes away from his airway completely closing and losing his ability to breathe. It is because of Officer Holland's decisive actions and quick decision making that the boy is alive today.
