or heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary action above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam: Warrant Officer Jewett distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous action on 13 November 1967, while serving as an aircraft commander of a UH-1H helicopter during a combat support mission in the Que Son Valley, Republic of Vietnam. When several helicopters were downed in enemy controlled terrain, Warrant Officer Jewett
made numerous flights into the area to insert infantry troops around the disabled aircraft. Although his aircraft was constantly exposed to the enemy ground fire, WO Jewett continued with his mission. His outstanding flying ability and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army. “ Gary’s banner and story was proudly submitted by his daughter Stephanie Jewett.
In Honor of all the Military Personnel who have served and continue to serve this country, Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice.
