for both you and your country.

But we must never forget our

debt of gratitude to the past...

and those who have served

the army so bravely...

and so well.

That is why I am especially proud...

to dedicate this ceremony...

to a fallen, but not forgotten,

American hero.

A young radio operator

serving in Vietnam...

whose platoon came under mortar attack

near the outpost at Soc Trang.

This soldier held his post under fire...

to relay coordinates...

which facilitated an artillery response.

This soldier gave his own life...

in order to prevent the loss...

of so many others.

I want to thank a civilian instructor...

for pointing out this oversight...

Mr. William Rago...

for his efforts in seeing that

the family of this fallen soldier...

receives the honor

he so richly deserves.

Company, attention!

Son, its an honor to present to you...

your fathers silver star.

About face.!
