THE WALL OF FACES

For gallantry in action while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam: Staff Sergeant Baker distinguished himself on 14 June 1966 while serving as an advisor to a paramilitary strike force attempting to relieve a refugee village which was under attack in the Republic of Vietnam. Upon notification of the attack, Staff Sergeant Baker organized and personally led an assault against the Viet Cong force. When his force received intense hostile fire. he moved forward to an exposed position to draw fire away from his men. During a courageous attempt to bring fire on the Insurgent force, Staff Sergeant Baker was mortally wounded. Staff Sergeant Baker's extraordinary heroism in close combat against a hostile force is in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever...
