in the suppression of enemy forces. He contributed immeasurably
to the establishment of PCF Division 103 and through his positive actions
and resourcefulness, provided much operational data which today form part of

"For Heroic Achievement while serving with friendly
foreign forces engaged in armed conflict against the North Vietnamese and
Viet Cong communist aggressors in the Republic of Vietnam. On 23
September 1969, Ensign BALLEW was serving as officer in charge of an inshore
patrol craft which was requested to conduct an emergency extraction of
Vietnamese Regional Force Troops. He skillfully maneuvered his
craft to a point on the beach and commenced extraction of the force.
Suddenly, enemy forces attacked with heavy automatic weapons and small arms
fire from several positions. Rather than abandon the exposed
force, he remained beached to complete the extraction. Despite
the fact that rounds were striking his craft, he exposed himself to the
hostile fire to aid several of the troops on board. His
aggressive initiative and coolness under fire were instrumental in effecting
the successful extraction. Ensign BALLEW's outstanding
performance of duty was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United
States Naval Service."

raids into the enemy held rivers and canals of the Ca Mau Peninsula.
He engaged the enemy on over fifteen separate occasions. Typical
of his outstanding performance was on 12 April 1969. While on
patrol, his craft came under heavy machine gun and rocket propelled grenade
fire, wounding every man on board with the exception of one.
Disregarding his own wounds, Lieutenant (junior grade) LOHNES continued to
command his boat and directed devastating return fire into the enemy
positions. In addition, during September 1969, he trained a
Vietnamese Navy crew to take over an inshore patrol craft.
Lieutenant (junior grade) LOHNES' exemplary leadership, professional skill

While conducting those missions, he participated in thirty-four direct

control techniques were responsible for saving his boat, the lives of his
crew and minimizing damage to other boats operating with him.
Throughout his tour, he maintained his craft in outstanding readiness for
combat under extremely arduous conditions. In addition, he
served as the inshore patrol craft liaison and maintenance officer for
Operation SEA FLOAT from 21 September to 11 October 1969. He
made many changes in inshore patrol craft riverine operations which greatly
enhanced their effectiveness and significantly contributed to the
accelerated rate of pacification of the Cau Mau peninsula. His

roving patrol on the starboard side of the ammi pontoons moored in the Cua
Lon river as headquarters for Operation SEA FLOAT. Suddenly, the
alarm was sounded that an enemy swimmer had been sighted.
Proceeding to the after starboard corner of the pontoons, he detected a
swimmer holding onto the side of the pontoons. Without regard
for his own personal safety, he grabbed the man in an attempt to capture the
explosive laden enemy. Realizing that he faced certain death if
the swimmer managed to use his grenades or detonate the explosives he
carried, Petty Officer ALEXANDER continued to struggle with the man.
When the enemy swimmer broke from his grasp, he immediately began throwing
concussion grenades into the water while others took the swimmer under fire.
His alertness and quick response directly contributed to preventing friendly
casualties and thwarting an enemy attempt to destroy a facility vital to the
pacification of the lower Cau Mau peninsula. Petty Officer
ALEXANDER's professionalism, personal courage
and devotion to duty reflected great credit upon himself and were in

serving as Officer in Charge of an inshore patrol
craft in company with two other craft transiting the Dam Doi river in the
lower Ca Mau peninsula to insert Kit Carson Scouts and United States SEAL
advisors at an interdiction point. Upon entering the river, all
three craft came under heavy enemy rocket and small arms attack.
One craft sustained a massive bomb hit amidships below the waterline, while
another sustained a rocket hit that resulted in numerous personnel
casualties. Both craft were forced to beach in the kill zone.
Reacting immediately, Lieutenant (junior grade) YEOMAN directed highly
accurate return fire into the enemy position in order to provide the damaged
crafts with necessary cover. He then beached his craft alongside
the stricken crafts to assess the damage and render assistance.
With complete disregard for his own personal safety, he directed his men to
assist in administering first aid to the wounded while firing harassment and
interdiction fire until additional aid and support arrived. His
