Final Mission of CAPT Robert M. Snell

CAPT Robert M. “Mike” Snell graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, NY, in 1966. CAPT Snell's first tour in Vietnam was December 1967-December 1968. During his second tour of Vietnam, he was an artillery captain with the 101st Airborne Division. On June 14, 1969, he was serving as the artillery liaison officer to the 327th Infantry at Fire Support Base Berchtesgaden. The base was attacked by a concentrated mortar assault, followed by intense ground assault. Snell moved 50 meters through penetrating enemy fire to assist the wounded. He carried one wounded soldier back to safety and was going out the bunker door to retrieve another man when a round impacted at his feet and mortally wounded him. His unselfish dedication saved the life of the man he carried to safety. His action early that morning earned him the Distinguished Service Cross, posthumously.
