Inscription. A Sergeant, United States Army - Vietnam War A
Delta Company, 3rd Infantry Battalion, 11th Infantry Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, RVN

Following Basic Training and advanced per-deployment training in Hawaii, Dick deployed to Vietnam in early 1968 and served there thru February 1969. Prior to departure from Vietnam he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for distinguished & meritorious service in connection with ground operations against a hostile force from April 1968 to February 1969. During that time and due to a severe shortage of second lieutenants, much of Dick's time in the theater of operations involved leading troops in combat against North Vietnam Regulars and Viet Cong.
