By direction of the President, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved 25 July 1963, the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in action is awarded to: SPECIALIST FIVE CLAUDE QUICK, JR., Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2d Battalion, 27th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division, in the Republic of Vietnam, on 19 May 1966, while serving as a medical aidman attached to a rifle company on a search and destroy mission when elements of the company encountered intense Viet Cong fire from automatic weapons concealed in the thick jungle foliage. As injured Americans fell, he immediately moved through the withering enemy fire to give aid. Approaching one injured man, he observed that his injury was of a nature that the man could not be moved. Completely disregarding his own personal safety, he remained by the man s side, trying vainly to revive him. Specialist Quick, although wounded himself turned his attentions elsewhere, moving to other injured Soldiers, giving aid and encouragement, and directing the evacuation of the wounded. Specialist Quick is credited with saving several lives during this action. This outstanding display of aggressiveness, devotion to duty, and personal bravery at risk to his own life is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, the 25th Infantry Division, and the United States Army. F I R S T L I E U T E N A N T B E R N A R D W. B A I L, 6 6 t h B o m b a r d m e n t S q u a d r o n, 4 4 t h Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force, European Theater of Operations, on 5 June 1944, while serving as the Group mission s Lead Radar Navigator on a heavy bombardment attack against defended enemy coastal positions in the vicinity of Boulogno Sur Mer, France, in preparation of the invasion on 6 June 1944. As he approached the target, Lieutenant Bail s aircraft was hit repeatedly and severely by enemy antiaircraft fire which seriously crippled the ship, knocking out three engines and causing the remaining engine to be cut off, killed the pilot, and wounded several members of the crew, including the Command Pilot whose foot was severed. The co pilot set a course for England while the aircraft rapidly lost altitude. While over the English Channel, Lieutenant Bail applied a tourniquet to the leg of the Command Pilot and the crew was ordered to bail out. He remained with the Command Pilot, who had sufficiently recovered from shock to reach the aircraft s steering yoke, and turn it around from its inland course and head it back to ditch in the English Channel. This extraordinary act of heroism enabled the Command Pilot to 1

steer the aircraft away from an English village preventing further loss of life. Lieutenant Bail s valiant and unselfish efforts, above and beyond the call of duty and at great risk to himself, reflect great credit upon himself, the Air Corps, and the United States Army. STAFF SERGEANT DANIEL A. BRIGGS, United States Army, on 26 April 2004, during c o m b a t o p e r a t i o n s a g a i n s t a n a r m e d I r a q i I n s u r g e n t f o r c e w h i l e s u p p o r t i n g U n i t e d S t a t e s Marine Corps operations in Fullujah, Iraq, Staff Sergeant Briggs repeatedly subjected himself to intense and unrelenting enemy fire in order to provide critical medical attention to severely injured Marines and organize defensive operations. He set the highest example of personal bravery through his demonstrated valor and calmness under fire. Staff Sergeant Briggs s valiant actions prevented enemy insurgent forces from overrunning the United States Force s position and were directly responsible for prevention of additional United States military casualties or Prisoners of War by the enemy. His actions under fire as a combat medic were performed with marked distinction and bravery. Staff Sergeant Briggs s distinctive accomplishments are in keeping with the finest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, this command, and the United States Army.

During the ensuing battle, despite repeatedly being uncovered to enemy fire and despite a serious injury to his left hand, he took command of the Police Commando element and led them in engaging the enemy for over four and a half hours until reinforcements arrived on the scene. Colonel Coffman s heroic actions under fire are in keeping with the finest traditions of military service and reflect credit upon himself, the Multi National Security Transition Command Iraq, and the United States Army. MASTER SERGEANT DONALD R. HOLLENBAUGH, United States Army, on 26 April 2004, during combat operations against an armed Iraqi insurgent force while supporting United S t a t e s M a r i n e C o r p s o p e r a t i o n s i n F a l l u j a h, I r a q. H e d e m o n s t r a t e d t h e h i g h e s t d e g r e e o f courage and excellent leadership through his distinguished performance as Team Leader while engaged in Urban Combat Operations.

While patrolling a supply route, Staff Sergeant Nein s squad o b s e r v e d a c o n v o y o f s e m i t r a c t o r t r a i l e r s t h a t w a s b e i n g a m b u s h e d b y a p p r o x i m a t e l y 5 0 anti Iraqi insurgents with automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades. He responded by dismounting his squad and leading them in a counterattack to flank the enemy positions. Still 2

under heavy fire, Staff Sergeant Nein displayed great courage by directing an assault on an enemy trench line, firing his weapon and throwing hand grenades to suppress the enemy. His squad killed several insurgents, captured large quantities of weapons and ammunition, and saved the lives of numerous convoy members. Staff Sergeant Nein s bravery is in keeping with the finest traditions of military service and reflects great credit upon himself, the 503d Military Police Battalion (Airborne), the 18th Military Police Brigade, and the United States Army. PRIVATE STEPHEN C. SANFORD, United States Army, on 19 November 2005, during combat operations against an armed enemy of the United States, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Private Sanford displayed extraordinary courage during the evacuation of casualties from a home in Mosul, Iraq, while under intense enemy fire. Although shot in the leg during his squad s initial assault attempt, he accompanied his squad during their second assault. Once inside the house, he provided a heavy volume of suppressive fire while the casualties were evacuated. He continued to engage the enemy while escorting the wounded Soldiers from the house. He returned to the house a second time to provide vital covering fire and security for the final withdraw of the casualties. When the last Soldier leaving the house was shot in the neck, Private Sanford, with complete disregard for his own safety, moved to the Soldier and began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While attempting to revive the other Soldier, he was shot twice more in the back. Protecting the fallen Soldier, Private Sanford returned fire and killed an insurgent while receiving two more potentially fatal gunshot wounds. He continued to r e t u r n d e v a s t a t i n g f i r e o n t h e e n e m y w h i l e h e l p i n g h i s w o u n d e d c o m r a d e u n t i l h e w a s incapacitated by his own loss of blood. Private Sanford s gallant deed was truly above and beyond the call of duty and is in keeping with the finest traditions of the military service, reflecting great credit upon himself, Charlie Company, 2d Battalion, 1st Infantry, the United States Army, and the United States of America. II 528TH FIGHTER SQUADRON. 1 JUNE 1944 TO 31 AUGUST 1944. 2. By direction of the Secretary of Defense, under the provisions of Department of Defense 1348.33M, dated 1996, award of the Presidential Unit Citation to the following units of the Armed Forces of the United States and cobelligerent nations for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy on or after 7 December 1941, is announced according to AR 600 8 22, paragraph 7 2: During the period of 1 June 1944 to 31 August 1944, the 528th Fighter Squadron displayed extraordinary heroism, valor, and gallantry against an armed enemy during operations against the Japanese forces during the Burma Offensive of World War II. The 528th Fighter Squadron, commonly referred to as the Dragonflies, was a part of the North Burma Offensive, spearheaded by the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), also known as Merrill s Marauders. This offensive culminated in the defeat of all Japanese forces that had occupied the towns of Myitkyina and Mogaung in North Burma. This offensive occurred during the pinnacle of the annual monsoon s e a s o n t h a t t y p i c a l l y d e p o s i t s o v e r 5 0 0 i n c h e s o f r a i n p e r y e a r. D u r i n g t h i s p e r i o d, t h e Dragonflies flew 1943 sorties against the well entrenched Japanese forces. This action was in s p i t e o f f l y i n g a n d l i v i n g c o n d i t i o n s t h a t w e r e c o n s i d e r e d b y o t h e r u n i t s t o b e t o t a l l y unacceptable. Despite these harsh operating conditions, the Dragonflies suffered minimal losses. According to the reports from the allied ground forces, the losses that they inflicted upon their opposing forces were dramatic. The 528th Fighter Squadron s actions are in keeping with the finest tradition of the military service and reflect great credit upon themselves, the United States Army Air Force, and the Army of the United States. 3
