MACV-SOG Vet Lt. Vernon Ward
In October 1968 in Vietnam, then-1st Lt. Vernon JB Ward Jr.'s team was ambushed after completing a mission to gather intelligence and capture enemy troops.
Ward led his men away before he and another soldier were wounded. Ward carried his comrade to the pickup spot, only to learn that it had been overrun. He then coordinated with air support to cover his team before guiding them to a second location where a helicopter was waiting. Ward carried the injured soldier 400 meters to the helicopter and lifted him into it. After he made sure his team and their three prisoners were aboard, Ward killed five North Vietnamese soldiers and saved the crew. As he lifted himself into the helicopter, he used his own injured body to block a prisoner from escaping. Almost 45 years later, the retired chief warrant officer 4 accepted the Silver Star
