Ex- marine becomes family savior

Mark and Dave Salmon were cruising down to the local shopping mall when Dave experienced a heart attack, leading to a non- fatal crash on a retaining wall. Thankful that the airbags were not triggered, Mark pulled his father out of immobile car and started doing CPR. His army training really helped as he checked the pulse and found there was none, so he proceeded to do compressions like it was a normal thing to do. Training and knowledge in the Marines were about saving lives; thus, CPR was a repetitive action that was fueled by memory. A neighbor, Justin Aller, went out to help with the chest compressions, while Mark took care of the mouth- to- mouth resuscitation until medics arrived.
