Webmaster's Opinion
Every Man and every Officer that ever served in the 2nd CA
should have been awarded the Vietnamese Civic Action Honor Medal
for the work they performed, each and every day of their tour.
Unfortunately, the Republic of Vietnam ceased to exist when
Saigon surrendered to the Communists on 30 Apr 1975.
The award dates should have been amended to
19 Nov 1966 to 27 Jul 1971 |
