Award of the Bronze Star for Heroism, General Orders Number 935, 4th Inf Div

For heroism in connection with military operations against an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. On 21 March 1967, Private First Class Easley was serving as a Rifleman with the 3rd Platoon of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry, which was on a search and destroy mission in Kontum Province. While moving over dense, heavily vegetated terrain, his unit was engaged by a numerically superior enemy force. Private First Class Easley, reacting instantly, returned the fire and took cover. Realizing that he could not fire well from his position, Private First Class Easley, disregarding his safety, moved to another position to deliver accurate fire on the enemy. It was during this daring act of bravery that Private First Class Easley was mortally wounded. Private First Class Easley's actions effectively reduced the fire power of the enemy and inspired the men around him, greatly contributing to the success of his unit's mission. Private First Class Easley's personal bravery and 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.
