Hospitalman Third Class Lloyd Irvin Luttrell, United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against while serving as a Corpsman with Company D, First Battalion, First Marines, 1st Marine Division, in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On the morning of 24 January 1969, Company D had commenced a search and destroy operation in the Dodge City area south of DaNang when the lead elements came under a heavy volume of automatic weapons and small arms fire from a hostile force occupying emplacements well-concealed in a tree line and sustained several casualties. Unhesitatingly leaving his position of relative safety, Petty Officer Luttrell was fearlessly maneuvering across the fire-swept terrain toward an injured comrade when he was seriously wounded. Ignoring his painful injury, he again commenced moving across the hazardous area to the wounded Marine and, while engaged in this selfless task, was mortally wounded by a burst of enemy fire. By his courage, bold initiative and unwavering devotion to duty, Petty Officer Luttrell inspired all who observed him and upheld the finest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.
He was awarded The Silver Star Medal for Bravery, The Purple Heart Medal for his combat related wounds, The Vietnam Service Medal, The Republic of Vietnam Campaign Service Medal, The National Defense Service Medal The Good Conduct Medal and The Combat Action Ribbon(CAR).
He was rendering First Aid in battle to US Marine Staff Sergeant Sgt Paul Francis Tersteege, who later passed away from his wounds.
