Pfc. Dennis Greenwald Gets Posthumous Awards for Valor
Private First Class Dennis Green-
wald was decorated posthumously
on March 15 with the Bronze Star
Medal for bravery in Vietnam, and
the Purple Heart Medal.
Pfc. Greenwald was killed last
Nov. 20 as he helped to press a
paratroop attack against the en-
emy near Dak To, Vietnam, taking
time out only to assist wounded
comrades. He died three days be-
fore his 19th birthday.
A volunteer, Pfc. Greenwald en-
tered the s e r vice on his 18th
birthday, Nov. 23, 1966. He volun-
teered again after completing basic
training, choosing to enter the
hazardous paratroop infantry.
Several months before_ h _ is death,
be wrote to two young neighbor
girls in SouthPA:ld, thanking them
for the bubblegum they had sent
him and explaining why he couldn't
come home. He wrote:
"Kids, you say that you want
me to come home soon? Well, I
don't know if you'll understand
in the Republic of Vietnam. On
this day, Company A, 2nd Bat-
talion (Airborne), 503rd Infantry,
was conducting a search and de-
stroy operation near Dak To.
Upon contact, Private First Class
Greenwald ran forward to an ex-
snowballed with a number of or-
ganizations raising funds for the
purchase of the flavoring. Mrs.
Greenwald suffered a heart attack
last October and was forced to
reduce her personal participation
in the campaign.

what I'm going to say or not,
but here it goes. I miss my fam-
ily, my friends and my neighbors
but I have a job to do over here
for another relative of both of
ours, our .Uncle Sam.
"I'm over here, with thousands
of other guys, helping Uncle Sam
to protect innocent people, and to
insure that they be allowed to
live the type of life that they
want. Helping to fight the 'bad
guys' who would take away these
people's and our freedom. So you
see, this is why I can't come
home right away."

posed position from which he
could fire effectively upon the
enemy positions. Seeing several
of his fellow troopers wounded,
he ran to their aid and dragged
them back to safety. Private
First Class Greenwald then re-
turned to his position and contin-
ued to place heavy and accurate
fire against the enemy until he
was mortally wounded. Private
First Class Greenwald's out-
standing display of aggresside-
ness, devotion to duty, and per-
sonal bravery was in keeping
with the highest traditions of the
military service and reflects
great credit to himself, his unit,
and the United States Army."
Pfc. Greenwald's mother has
started the Dennis Greenwald Me-
morial Fund to be used to recog-
nize Southfield youth who have
contributed to their school or com-
munity and to purchase books for

Capt. Allan Sheldon Cherry, 30,
who was killed while piloting an
air force jet over North Vietnam
Aug. 4, will receive posthumously
five medals in ceremonies today
at Selfridge Air Force Base.
Capt. Cherry, son of Mrs. Sarah
Willis of Ardmore Ave. and the
late Mr. Harry Cherry, has been
named for the distinguished flying
cross, silver star, air medal, com-
bat readiness medal and purple
heart.
His children, Howard, 8, and
Lisa, 7, will accept the medals
at the ceremony.
Capt. Cherry, who also had been
memorialized earlier at Selfridge
services, was in the air force for
nine years. He had been in Viet-
nam five weeks when he was
killed. At the time of his death,
he was alone in the plane, which
exploded when it hit the ground.
Another plane, piloted by his com-
manding officer, was witness to
the action.
A native of Detroit, Capt. Cherry
attended Central High School and
Wayne State University.
