IAVM is proud to present – Vietnam Veteran and Medal of Honor Recipient “Allen James Lynch”
Allen Lynch was a radio telephone operator for the 1st Cavalry Division on Dec 15, 967, when his company was overrun by numerically superior enemy forces near the village of My An. Observing three wounded comrades, he raced across 50 meters of open ground through withering enemy fire to administer aid and carry them to safety. When his company was forced to withdraw, he stayed behind with the wounded, singlehandedly defending them against a merciless enemy assault for two hours until they could be evacuated. Mr. Lynch will speak about his wartime experiences during a special presentation honoring Veterans Day.
