Yale G. Allen, On 5 March 1969, Yale’s company of Marines initiated an assualt against a North Vietnamese Army regiment occupying nine bunkers on top of a hill near Ca Lu in Quang Tri Province. Yale, although seriously wounded, completely exposed himself to destory a fortification and kill all the hostile soldiers with grenade and rifle fire. His heroic and decisive actions were directly responsible for the rout of the North Vietnamese Army unit.
