JAMES G. LUNDIE
Sergeant James G. Lundie distinguished himself by gallantry in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force at Kham Duc, Republic of Vietnam on 12 May 1968.
On that date, Sergeant Lundie aided the wounded, destroyed a machine gun position of the opposing force, and performed essential communications functions while under a heavy barrage of mortar, recoilless rifle, rocket, machine gun and small arms fire.
Sergeant Lundie provided these communications services from an exposed position with complete disregard for his own life. By his gallantry and devotion to duty, Sergeant Lundie has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
