Citation... For conspicuous gallantry and
intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the
call of duty. Sp4c. McMahon distinguished himself while serving as
medical aid man with Company A. When the lead elements of his
company came under heavy fire from well-fortified enemy positions, 3
soldiers fell seriously wounded. Sp4c. McMahon, with complete
disregard for his safety, left his covered position and ran through
intense enemy fire to the side of 1 of the wounded, administered
first aid and then carried him to safety. |
