Talk:Presidential Unit Citation (United States)

message: I couldn't find any documentation on the posting: 18:44, 28 May 2009 Presidential Unit Citation (United States) ‎ (→Vietnam War)
where the following was added: MAC "V" U.S. Marine Corps 24Jan64-30Apr72 Army PUC Vietnam
I've done quite a bit of looking for documentation to confirm this information but thus far have not been able to find any documentation.  Also, the user that posted the information doesn't have "e-mail this user" enabled to be able to obtain that information from them directly.
I would really like to know the source of this information.  I propose that if the content can't be verified, then it should be removed.

message: MACV-SOG is listed as penis for service. Is this correct? Seems like this would be multi-service.

message: I am not familiar w/ the "Streamer" concept (shown on this page for "Normandy") and would appreciate more information.  Does it mean that every PUC award is accompanied w/ a streamer that bears the name of the action, e.g. "Kumyangjang-ni"?  Does the streamer apply to foreign recipients as well?
Thank you in advance - Todd (talk) 18:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, a streamer is one of the award elements the award for the PUC, and is authorized for display from the staff of unit colors.  See AR 840-10, Chptr 9, and AR 600-8-22, Chptr 7-13 for details of the Army policy on this.  The other elements are PUC Streamer (Army); Presidential Unit Emblem (Army); certificate and citation; and Department of the Army General Order.  For the Army, the Presidential Unit Citation Streamer is the color and design as shown on the Article page, and inscribed in the manner specified; in may show the name of an individual battle, or campaign.  Streamers are awarded for a number of purposes, to include unit awards (including selected foreign awards to the unit), campaign credit, war service and some unit qualifications (infantry and medical).  The streamer is presented as part of the award elements to foreign units; whether their government authorizes the streamer to be flown from their colors is a matter of that nation's individual regulations. 67.187.136.140 (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The citation for TU 77.4.3 reads:
"For extraordinary heroism in action against powerful units of the Japanese Fleet during the Battle off Samar, Philippines, October 25, 1944. Silhouetted against the dawn as the Central Japanese Force steamed through San Bernardino Strait towards Leyte Gulf, Task Unit 77.4.3 was suddenly taken under attack by hostile cruisers on its port hand, destroyers on the starboard and battleships from the rear. Quickly laying down a heavy smoke screen, the gallant ships of the Task Unit waged battle fiercely against the superior speed and fire power of the advancing enemy, swiftly launching and rearming aircraft and violently zigzagging in protection of vessels stricken by hostile armor-piercing shells, anti-personnel projectiles and suicide bombers. With one carrier of the group sunk, others badly damaged and squadron aircraft courageously coordinating in the attacks by making dry runs over the enemy Fleet as the Japanese relentlessly closed in for the kill, two of the Unit's valiant destroyers and one destroyer escort charged the battleships point-blank and, expending their last torpedoes in desperate defense of the entire group, went down under the enemy's heavy shells as a climax to two and one half hours of sustained and furious combat. The courageous determination and the superb teamwork of the officers and men who fought the embarked planes and who manned the ships of Task Unit 77.4.3 were instrumental in effecting the retirement of a hostile force threatening our Leyte invasion operations and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
The citation in the article is for USS Aaron Ward (DM-34) which was not present at Samar, and for an action eight months later - she needs a separate entry.  I cannot fix this, but somebody here can. 70.104.230.244 (talk) 00:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

The claim that VT-8 is the only such unit can not stand.JMOprof (talk) 15:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I've heard that the criteria for the PUC differs from service to service.  For instance, you can receive the PUC in the Air Force if you're stationed TDY with the receiving outfit when the action occurs. But in the Navy, from what I've heard, they don't count TDY's for unit citations.  Anybody know the criteria for the Air Force?  Got any RS?

I have a transcript of a  US Army soldier’s military record who served in the 358th Infantry. He arrived after the Mahlman Line, he did serve in Ardennes. It is listed on his transcript he received the D U Citation. The link above if accurate may confirm other units that aren’t included on the page. Your thoughts?
