The Distinguished Service Cross citation reads "The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918 (amended by act of July 25, 1963) takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (posthumously) to Specialist Fourth Class Daniel Morris Noeldner (ADN: 56565196), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a senior medical aidman assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division, near Pleiku, Republic of Vietnam, on 6 March 1969. On that day Specialist Noeldner was serving with Company D, 2nd Battalion, when it was ambushed by a force of the North Vietnamese Army. Several men in the point element were hit by the initial volley of fire and the cry for "Medic" was heard. Completely disregarding the intensity of the enemy attack qand his own safety, Specialist Noeldner rushed forward to the side of his wounded comrades. While treating the first man that he reached, he was wounded in the thigh. Refusing medical treatment for himself, he continued to assist the wounded while repeatedly exposing himself to the fire of the enemy force. Shorthly thereafter he was again hit by enemy rounds while assisting his fellow soldiers. While attempting to bandage himself to stop the profuse bleeding another medic came to his air, but Specialist Noeldner direct him to check the other injured men. Although the crippling effect of his wounds prevented him from continuing his gallant mission, Specialist Noeldner had significantly contributed to saving the lives of two men at the sacrifice of his own. His extraordinary heroism at the cost of hiw own life, above and beyond the call of duty, was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Army and reflects great credit upon him and the Armed Forces of his country." Sgt Noeldner is honored on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall @ Panel 30W, Line 55 . Daniel Noeldner entered the U. S. Army on October 10, 1967.
