The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to Captain (Military Police Corps) Thomas F. Bair (ASN: 0-4027927), United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy while serving as Security Officer of the United States Army Support Group, Joint Security Area, Panmunjom, Korea, on 22 March 1967. At the conclusion of the Military Armistice Commission meeting being held at Panmunjom, Korea, Mr. Su Kun Yi, Vice Chief of the official North Korean Central News Agency, entered a U.S. Army sedan seeking transportation to South Korea. Without thought for his own safety, Captain Bair immediately ran to the assistance of Mr. Su Kun Yi knocking two armed North Korean guards from the vehicle as they attempted to drag Mr. Su Kun Yi from the vehicle. Captain Bair’s actions were instrumental in the successful flight of Mr. Su Kun Ti to asylum in the Republic of Korea. Captain Bair’s heroic conduct is not only in the highest tradition of the United States Army and reflected great credit upon himself and the Military Service but greatly enhance the image of his unit and the United Nations Command.
