Private First Class Bullard distinguished himself on 20 June 1966, by heroic actions against soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army in a fire fight in the Ia Drang river valley near the Cambodian border. When his unit made contact, Private First Class Bullard and a comrade unhesitatingly launched a two-man assault against the enemy position that had them pinned down. In this assault Private First Class Bullard was mortally wounded; however, his quick and spontaneous actions gave the rest of the squad time and an opportunity to withdraw to a more tenable fighting position. Private First Class Bullard’s magnificent and inspirational courage is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
