Platoon Sergeant Bobby Q. Brock, USA, Co. A, 1st Bn., 32nd Inf., 2nd Inf. Div., was given the Distinguished Service Cross in recognition of his extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam: Staff Sergeant Brock distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 13 June 1969 while serving as a platoon leader of an ambush patrol on the Bau Dieu peninsula. When an enemy force opened fire, Sergeant Brock maneuvered among his men directing fire and pointing out targets. Although wounded by shrapnel, he removed through the fusillade to an injured comrade to administer first aid. He then assisted in leading casualties on the medical evacuation helicopter, and when the aircraft was shot down while lifting off, he rushed to the wreckage and removed the crew to safety. Despite being wounded again by a rocket grenade, he directed his men into a defensive perimeter and called in supporting artillery fire to cover the approach of another ambulance helicopter. Not until all of the casualties had been extracted and a reinforcement element had arrived did he allow himself to be evacuated for medical treatment. Staff Sergeant Brockís extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

SGM. Brock joined the Legion of Valor in 1975.
