Silver Star 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 Specialist Fourth Class Philip Lou Baker (ASN: NG-26829658), United States Army, for gallantry in action while engaged in military operations against an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Specialist Fourth Class Baker distinguished himself while serving as a Medical Aidman with Company A, 3d Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. On 3 March 1969, Specialist Fourth Class Baker's company was approaching a ridge line when it was suddenly subjected to intense enemy automatic weapons, mortar and grenade fire from well concealed positions. Seeing several of his wounded comrades exposed to the enemy fire, Specialist Fourth Class Baker maneuvered forward and carried several of the wounded to positions of safety. Continually exposing himself to the hostile fire, Specialist Fourth Class Baker aided his wounded comrades until he was mortally wounded. Specialist Fourth Class Baker's courageous actions, determination and exemplary 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.
