Citation
For heroism in connection with military operations against
a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Specialist Four
Handy distinguished himself by heroism in action on 31 October
1967, while serving as a rifleman with Company C, 1st Battalion
(Mechanized), 50th Infantry during a night perimeter defense
near Quang Nhiem, Republic of Vietnam. When his unit came
under intense hostile fire, Specialist Four Handy
exposed himself to the enemy fire as he placed oppressive
fire on the assaulting hostile force. His action contributed
greatly to the successful repulsion of the enemy attack. Specialist
Four Handy’s display of personal bravery is in keeping
with the highest traditions of the military service, and reflects
great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States
Army. |
