To authorize and request the President to award the Medal 
of Honor to Richard Gresko, of Newtown, Pennsylvania, 
for acts of valor in the Republic of Vietnam on March 
11–12, 1970, while serving as a lance corporal in the 
Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION AND REQUEST FOR AWARD

FOR ACTS OF VALOR DURING THE VIETNAM 
WAR. 
(a) AUTHORIZATION.—The President is authorized 
and requested to award the Medal of Honor under section 
6241 of title 10, United States Code, to Richard Gresko, 
of Newtown, Pennsylvania, for the acts of valor during the 
Vietnam War described in subsection (b). 
(b) ACTION DESCRIBED.—The acts of valor referred 
to in subsection (a) are the actions of Richard Gresko in 
the Republic of Vietnam on the night of March 11–12, 
1970, while a lance corporal in the United States Marine 
Corps serving in the Third Battalion, Fifth Marine Regi-
ment, First Marine Division. On that night, Sergeant 
(then Lance Corporal) Gresko was in one element of an 
ambush set up to protect a village from enemy attack. 
Around midnight, his element ambushed a Viet Cong unit 
which was attempting to enter the village. During the en-
suing fight, Sergeant Gresko observed an enemy hand gre-
nade land near his position. With complete disregard for 
his own personal safety and fully aware of the dangers 
involved, he unhesitatingly threw himself on top of the gre-
nade, absorbing most of the blast fragments with his own 
body in order to protect his men from certain injury and 
possible death. Although painfully wounded, he continued
to direct his men’s actions until the squad made their 
sweep.

under subsection (a) may be made without regard to the 
time limitations specified in section 6248 of title 10,
