"Distinguished himself by intrepid and determined leadership against
greatly superior enemy forces. At the repeated risk of life above and
beyond the call of duty in his position, he frequented the firing line
of his troops where his presence provided the example and incentive that
helped make the gallant efforts of these men possible. The final stand
on beleaguered Corregidor,
for which he was in an important measure personally responsible,
commanded the admiration of the Nation's allies. It reflected the high
morale of American arms in the face of overwhelming odds. His courage
and resolution were a vitally needed inspiration to the then sorely
pressed freedom-loving peoples of the world."
May you be at peace,
