Worm May Win A Silver Star
Dennis Breutzman a 21 year old militiaman from Caledonia Wisconsin earned a Silver Star for lone defense of a brigade headquarters in Vietnam. He manned an M16 with no ammo, shot two Viet Cong sapper attackers killing one and wounding another, then returned to aid wounded comrades as rockets and artillery struck the camp. He acted alone as others sheltered, and his action halted the Viet Cong assault on the 1st Brigade 101st Airborne Division site.
