Remembering an American Hero
Dear CPL Gerald Gregory Bradley, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned. May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.
With respect, and the best salute that a civilian can muster for you.

Silver Star Citation (Full)
Silver Star
Awarded posthumously for actions during the Vietnam War
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Corporal Gerald G. Bradley (MCSN: 2394208), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Platoon Sergeant with Company E, Second Battalion, First Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 15 January 1969, Company E was participating in a cordon placed around the village of Cam Sa (1) in Quang Nam Province when the Marines came under intense small arms and automatic weapons fire from a platoon-sized enemy force occupying defensive positions in the village. After the fire fight had raged for several hours, an assault was ordered, and Corporal Bradley boldly led two squads of Marines forward in an aggressive attack. Completely disregarding his own safety, he fearlessly maneuvered about the battlefield encouraging his men and directing their fire against the hostile positions. Ignoring the rounds impacting nearby, he remained exposed to the enemy fire and continued to lead his men in the assault until he was mortally wounded. By his courage, unwavering fighting spirit and steadfast devotion to duty, Corporal Bradley inspired all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.
