Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: "Family Pride: Seabee Builder 1st Class Russell G. Gidley, left, 39 (Grand Ledge, Michigan), looks on proudly while his son, Marine Corporal Warren R. Gidley, 21 (Grand Ledge, Michigan) receives congratulations from Lieutenant General Lewis Walt, assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, who presented him with the Bronze Star. Corporal Gidley was cited for his heroic actions at Marine Aircraft Group 12 [MAG-12], Chu Lai, following an enemy rocket attack that threatened to destroy many of the group’s aircraft. The quick-thinking and brave actions of Corporal Gidley and the crash crew of which he is a member, resulted in saving several Marine aircraft. The elder Gidley took time from his job as a construction supervisor with the Seabees of Mobile Construction Battalion 58, to witness the decoration of his son (official USMC photo by Corporal John A. Ehlert)."
