This is a small tribute to a Spanish army officer who, when his boat broke down, saved a few civilians from being run over by it. In this act he lost his life as a result of the injuries received.
A memory of the heroic infantry lieutenant Morejón.

Lieutenant Morejón Verdú died a heroic act of service on August 13, 1981 in the waters off Cabo Roig. That day he performed, along with his subordinates, diving practices. When he noticed an unmanned and adrift boat posing a danger to those in the water, he immediately went for it, risking his life. Lieutenant Morejón was trying to gain control of the ship, when an unfortunate blow from the sea threw the boat on top of him, causing his death. He was rightfully awarded the Army Medal, the highest peacetime military decoration.
