ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Second Lieutenant Eddie M Dapone distinguished himself by outstanding achievement as Flight Leader, 315th Security Forces Squadron, Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina. 2d Lt Dapone conducted urban combat operations while escorting 3' x 2' Combat Easel safely through withering enemy fire throughout the entire battlefield. The Combat Easel did not sustain any nicks, scratches, or damage during the maneuvers under austere and grave field conditions. 2d Lt Dapone demonstrated great valor on the battlefield as he escorted the Combat Easel from the initial movement through each of the objectives as the Flight cleared the village buildings. This "Can-Do" attitude secured the highest levels of performance from the members of the 315th Security Forces Squadron. 2d Lt Dapone's initiative in using the Combat Easel to present the current tactical situation, while involved in the current tactical situation, brings great credit to himself and the 315th Mission Support Group. The distinctive accomplishments of Lieutenant Dapone reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
