COL. LLOYD VERNON CAMP (then Private First Class), 526th Armored Infantry Battalion, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in combat on 3 January 1945. During an enemy attack, Private First Class Camp left a place of safety and fearlessly made three trips under intense fire to rescue three wounded men exposed to the enemy and unable to move to safety. Later, he observed three more wounded soldiers and, still under enemy fire, with the assistance of a comrade, he rescued one of the men and then alone he aided and guided the other two to cover. His courage and leadership were of high standard and reflect the highest credit upon the armed forces of the United States.
Col. Camp joined the L.O.V. in 1983.
