The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Terry Durand Graham (ASN: 0-5429747), United States Army, for gallantry in action on 28 March 1969 while serving as Senior Advisor, Mobile Advisory Team II-14, Advisory Team 47, United States Army Advisory Group, III Corps Tactical Zone, United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. On that date, the operational unit Lieutenant Graham was advising came under a heavy barrage of rocket-propelled grenade fire. Discovering that the initial rounds had eliminated radio communications with the provincial operations center, he fearlessly left the security of his command bunker and, under intense hostile fire, made his way to a vehicular mounted radio, where he continued to expose himself to enemy fire while completing his initial radio communication alerting his superiors of his tactical situation. Returning to the command bunker, he was seriously wounded. He refused medical treatment in order to deploy his team, and only afterward, did he allow himself to be moved inside. He still refused medical aid and began firing on the numerically superior Viet Cong force. Only after another wounded team member had been treated, did Lieutenant Graham allow himself to be treated. He then ordered the medical Aidman and another team member to withdraw to a more secure location while he provided covering fire. Moments later the command bunker was assaulted and overrun by the Viet Cong force. First Lieutenant Graham’s conspicuous gallantry in action was in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
