HENRY S. JORDAN, 02 055 162, Captain (then First Lieutenant), Infantry, Company “I”, 180th Infantry Regiment, for extraordinary heroism in action on 28 March 1945, near Blensbach, Germany. Amid enemy Panzerfaust and bazooka fire, Captain Jordan directed the fire of supporting tanks upon enemy emplace≠ments guarding a roadblock. He braved intense small arms fire to contact one of his platoons and then led it in a frontal assault, over open terrain, on the enemy position. At the head of his men, he charged two machine gun nests and destroyed them with accurate fire from his sub-machine gun. Personally killing twelve of the enemy, Captain Jordan then led his company in clearing a stubbornly defended town and taking seventy prisoners. Captain Jordan’s heroic performance reflects high credit upon the armed forces. Entered military service from Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
