AWARD OF THE ARMY COMMENDATION MEDAL FOR HEROISM

For heroism in connection with military operations against an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Private First Class Mullervy distinguished himself while serving as Infantryman with Company B, 1st Battlion, 35th Infantry, 4th Division. On 6 February 1968, Company B was on a search and destroy operation southwest of Hoi A, Quang Nam Province. PFC Mullervy's element was proving forward security and was slowly moving across a rice paddy; constantly on alert for signs of enemy soldiers who were reportedly working in the area. Suddenly, the lead element was subjected to intense enemy automatic weapons fire. PFC Mullervy immediately assaulted the hostile positions and brought heavy fire upon the enemy. As he continued the assault, he was mortally wounded by enemy fire. PFC Mullervy's personal bravery, professional integrity, an devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
