Award of Army Commendation Medal With Valor

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY / HHQ AMERICAL / COMPANY A, 1ST BATTALION / 6TH INFANTRY / 198TH LIB

For heroism on 1 November 1967 in the Republic of Vietnam
Private First Class Turner distinguished himself while serving as a machine gunner with a force responsible for the security of a vital bridge on Highway 1 in Sa Huynh. During the night, the bridge site came under attack by a numerically superior enemy force which had used the cover of rice paddy dikes and poor visibility to advance within 30 meters of the defensive bunkers. Private Turner continually exposed himself to enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire in order to place effective fire on the insurgents. At one point during the battle, Private Turner was unable to accurate fire on the enemy from his bunker and unhesitatingly moved outside to have a better field of fire. His courageous performance of duty contributed greatly to the successful defense of the bridge site and the large number of enemy dead.

Less than 2 weeks in VN - my HERO!
