Typed memorandum, as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, December 12, 1964. Issued to the Secretary of Defense, memo reads, in part: “I want to express my appreciation to you and to the Department of the Army for the thought and effort which made the Medal of Honor presentation ceremony for Captain Donlon on December 5th dignified, impressive and appropriate to that high award. Each of us can feel fortunate that this country produces many men of the mettle of Captain Donlon and that the training programs of our military services are designed to guide them to ultimate accomplishment.” In fine condition, with paper loss to top left corner tip. On December 5, 1964, Capt. Roger Hugh C. Donlon became the first recipient of the Medal of Honor for actions in the Vietnam War for his conduct on July 6, 1964, near Nam Dong, South Vietnam.
