The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private First Class Lloyd Vernon Camp (ASN: 39127164), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with the 526th Armored Infantry Battalion, 10th Armored Group (Separate), in action against enemy forces in Belgium, 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. Private First Class Camp’s extraordinary heroism, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
