A posthumous Distinguished Service Cross was awarded to First Lieutenant George T. Kelly Jr. of High Point in a ceremony at Fort Bragg. Kelly, killed April 22, 1970, near Camp Dak Seang in Vietnam, was cited for extraordinary heroism during a prolonged battle with a North Vietnamese regiment. His parents accepted the award, joining him as a 1965 High Point Central High School graduate and University of North Carolina alumnus.
