General Orders Number 1597, Award of The Bronze Star for Heroism, 4th Division, 9 May 1969

For heroism in connection with military operations against an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Specialist Weant distinguished himself while serving as a RTO with B, 2/35th Infantry. On 7 March 1969, B Company was conducting a combat sweep operation in Kontum Province. As the company moved up a hill, they were engaged by an unknown size enemy force using small arms and rocket fire. Specialist Weant was critically wounded in the initial burst of fire. Disregarding the gravity of his wound, Specialist Weant continued to operate his radio, staying with the platoon leader during the ensuing battle. Without regard for his own safety, Specialist Weant maneuvered with the element, calling artillery and mortar fire with the direction of the platoon leader. Only after he fellow soldiers had been moved to cover did Specialist Weant later succumb to his wound. His personal bravery, determination, and exemplary 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.
