Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: "Silver Star: General Leonard F. Chapman, Jr., Commandant of the Marine Corps, presents a Silver Star to Major David T. Sites (Greeneville, Tennessee) during the commandant’s recent visit to Provisional Marine Aircraft Group 39 [MAG-39] Quang Tri. Major Sites, now a pilot with Marine Observation Squadron 6 [VMO-6], was awarded the nation’s third highest combat decoration for his heroism and superior performance on a night close air support mission while an A-4 Skyhawk pilot with Marine Attack Squadron 311 [VMA-311]. As a result of his pinpoint delivery of his ordnance, despite a heavy volume of enemy fire, the enemy’s capability to launch an assault on Allied troops was severely crippled (official USMC photo by Sergeant John Ehlert)."
