Carlos Grant carlosgrant01@gmail.com Fellow soldier Late Salute CPT Holland! This salute for you is a little late (50 years), but maybe you will get it in heaven. I remember meeting you several times when you were a adviser in Baria. We would go pick you up with the helicopter and bring you to Vung Tau and take you back when you finished your business. I remember talking to you when you told me you was getting reassigned to take a fallen comrades place. A short time later we heard what happened to you and your fellow advisers. I'm glad to see that you received the DSC for your efforts but you deserve more. Rest well! Carlos G Grant ex SP5, 765th TRANS BN, Vung Tau, RSN 09/64-02/66 Dec 26, 2015

Vietnam Vet The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Carlton Jake Holland (0-2270112), Captain (Infantry), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Captain Holland distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on during the period 9 - 10 February 1965 while serving as Subsector Advisor at Bu Dang compound, Duc Phong Subsector, Phuoc Long Sector, in the Republic of Vietnam. At 2200 hours on 9 February 1965, the compound was attacked by a hostile contingent composed of approximately seventy armed insurgents. During the initial assault, hostile mortar fire registered direct hits on the compound defenses. The Viet Cong, realizing the vulnerability of the compound, called upon Captain Holland to surrender. Stimulated by the will to resist, Captain Holland refused, despite the overwhelming odds. He then dispersed his small force to form a defensive perimeter. Taking the most dangerous approach himself, Captain Holland manned a machine gun and engaged the insurgents until the ammunition at that positions was exhausted. He then moved to an alternate position and continued to fight until his small band was overrun and killed by the Viet Cong. Captain Holland's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty, at the cost of his life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
