Captain Archer’s resistance to his captors use of physical and mental torture in order to obtain information demonstrated his devotion to duty and the United States, strictly adhering to the Code of Conduct.

By his steadfast performance of duty, courage, and dedication, he reflected great credit upon himself, the Marine Corps, and the United States Naval Service.
