During
the long night of the 24th February while Company "A" was receiving damaging
mortar fire, T/5 Lester R. Pinter, a medic, crawled through the enemy fire
and challenging fire from friendly troops to minister to wounded troopers.
Pinter was one of the 52 men killed in the explosion at Monkey Point on 26
February.
