The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pride in presenting the Soldier’s Medal (Posthumously) to Corporal Vo Vui (61400256), Army of the Republic of Vietnam, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of 1st Battalion, 45th infantry Regiment, 23rd Infantry Division, Army of the Republic of Vietnam, at Bu Prang outposts, Quang Duc Province Republic of Vietnam, on 29 March 1966. He unhesitatingly, and without regard for his personal safety, went to the aid of two American pilots who had accidentally entered a friendly protective mine field, detonating one of the mines and critically injuring both pilots. Corporal Vui voluntarily entered the mine field, knowing full well the extreme danger involved in entering an uncharted minefield, in order to offer his assistance to the wounded Americans. A second mine was detonated after the successful withdrawal of one of the pilots, critically injuring Corporal Vui and an American Advisor. Although critically injured, Corporal Vui lay still without noise until rescue efforts were able to withdraw him from the minefield. He died of wounds received before air evacuation could be affected. He laid down his life in order to assist a fellow soldier of another nation who required his assistance. Corporal Vui performed a most courageous act. This act reflects great credit upon himself, his country, and his military service.
