Following the crash of two Black Hawk helicopters in the streets of Mogadishu, Private First Class Pamer was part of a Quick Reaction Force in efforts to reinforce embattled Special Forces and Ranger elements in support of a rescue effort. Though struck in the back and severely wounded by enemy fire, Private First Class Pamer picked up his weapon and continued to fire on the enemy forces. His gallant actions and disregard for his own safety in the defense of his comrades was in keeping with the finest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
