CITATION:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class Richard John Conrardy, United States Army, for gallantry in action in the Republic of Vietnam on 2 July 1970. Private Conrardy distinguished himself while serving as a Medical Aidman in Company C, 2d Battalion (Airmobile), 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), during combat operations in Thua Thien Province, Republic of Vietnam. While set up in a night defensive position, Private Conrardy's unit came under attack by a force of North Vietnamese Army sappers, who breached the perimeter at one point. When the command post came under a particularly intense assault, the platoon leader was seriously wounded, and Private Conrardy immediately abandoned his covered position to aid the wounded man. Moving through the enemy barrage, Private Conrardy had just reached the casualty when he was mortally wounded by an enemy satchel charge. His actions were an inspiration to his fellow soldiers. Private Conrardy's personal bravery and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

On the remembrance of your 69th Birthday, your sacrifice and heroic effort are not forgotten.

HOOAH
