TC-1 Tony Cordia (CA) receives a Bronze Star w/V for heroics at Hill 352, on 14 May 68. Sgt. Sherwin Hall (CA) received a BS w/V and is wearing glasses to Cordia's right. The grunt on Cordia's left, nearest the camera, is Kirby Heath (WA), also known as "Chief." Cordia, Hall and Heath were all in 1st Platoon. If you recognize any other men to Cordia's right, please let us know. Read what Cordia did to earn this award in the Hero's Hall section of this site. Cordia was wounded twice, earning his Purple Heart w/OLC on 16 May 68. There's a small peace sign on Cordia's helmet cover. (According to his nametag, the first three letters of the last name of the one-star general pinning the award is "You...," so it's probably BG Young.)
