Province, Republic of Vietnam, 18 July 1969. Entered service at:
Montgomery, Ala. Born: 17 July 1948, Chelsea, Mass.
Citation... For conspicuous gallantry and
intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the
call of duty. Sgt. Evans distinguished himself by extraordinary
heroism while serving as a squad leader in a reconnaissance sweep
through heavy vegetation to reconnoiter a strong enemy position. As
the force approached a well-defined trail, the platoon scout warned
that the trail was booby-trapped. Sgt. Evans led his squad on a
route parallel to the trail. The force had started to move forward
when a nearby squad was hit by the blast of a concealed mine. |
