Remembering An American Hero
Dear HM3 Conal Joseph Byrne Jr, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice 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. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

Silver Star Citation
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 Hospital Corpsman Third Class Conal J. Byrne, Jr. (NSN: 7887094), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Platoon Corpsman with Company F, Second Battalion, Fourth Marines, THIRD Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, in connection with operations against insurgent communist forces in the Republic of Vietnam, on 21 September 1967. While on a search and destroy mission, Company F was taken under fire by a numerically superior North Vietnamese Army force. During the vicious battle that followed, many friendly casualties were incurred. Although seriously wounded in the shoulder during the initial rain of fire, Petty Officer Byrne began moving among the Marine casualties, rendering medical aid while exposing himself to the intense barrage of fire being delivered by the hostile force. Defying the enemy fire, he advanced forty meters over fire-swept terrain to aid a wounded Marine. Mortally wounded while performing this last selfless act, Petty Officer Byrne, by his outstanding courage and inspiring devotion to duty, upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
