Dale E. Wayrynen Memorial
On May 18, 1967, Dale E. Wayrynen was in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam when the unit came under attack. During the fight, he threw himself on an enemy-thrown genade that was tossed into his company, undoubtedly saving many lives at the cost of his own. He was awarded the Army Medal of Honor and Purple Heart.
