On April 30, 1968, Capt. James Livingston led Company E in a determined assault on the heavily fortified village of Dai Do, maneuvering 500 meters across open rice paddy under intense enemy fire. Despite being wounded twice by gr***de fragments, he continued directing the attack, helping his Marines destroy more than 100 enemy bunkers and drive the enemy from their positions.
When a counterattack threatened nearby Marines, Livingston moved forward again, joining the fight and helping halt the enemy advance. Wounded a third time and unable to walk, he remained in the exposed area until his men were moved to safety. Only then did he allow himself to be evacuated.
His actions earned him the Medal of Honor and exemplify extraordinary courage, leadership, and devotion to duty.
