Class
of 2005
|
|
United States Army
Distinguished Flying Cross |
Citation
For heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced
by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty: Warrant
Officer Kountz distinguished himself while serving
as the pilot of a UH-ID helicopter during an extraction of
a special forces reconnaissance team that had been trapped
in an enemy base camp. Upon location of the team, he lowered
his aircraft under intense enemy fire and hovered over the
area while the troops were loaded aboard. His actions were
in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service
and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United
States Army.
