✦ DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS ✦
James C. Schlottman
First Lieutenant · Field Artillery · Class 8 (1965)
First Lieutenant James Charles Schlottman FA 8-65 was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for actions on 2 October 1966 while serving with Troop A, 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), RVN. When his helicopter landed to pick up a seriously wounded medic, Lieutenant Schlottman fearlessly jumped from the helicopter and charged a machine gun position. Using only his pistol, he was able to silence one weapon. Hostile fire so damaged the aircraft as it took off, that the pilot could fly it only 150 meters. Determined to continue the destruction of the enemy, Lieutenant Schlottman ran from the helicopter onto the battlefield with a radio and guided artillery strikes on the Viet Cong positions. He was inducted into the OCS Hall of Fame in 2024.
