ROY E. JUDKINS (Then Specialist 6) United States Army) For extraordinary heroism during the period 4 December 1968 through 8 December 1968, while serving as an Explosive Ordinance Disposal team member in the Republic of Vietnam. Specialist 6 Judkins distinguished himself by sustained heroic actions by twice participating in surgical procedures involving armed and dangerous explosive ordnance. Specialist Judkins selflessly entered operating rooms to remove 40mm grenades from the extremities of wounded Republic of Vietnam personnel. He also exposed himself to enemy fire while extracting another soldier from a minefield. Specialist Judkins action, personal bravery, and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service, and reflect great credit on himself and the United States Army.

Mr. Judkins resided in Georgia.
