The President of the United States takes pride in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Logan Christopher Weathers (0-2012542), First Lieutenant (Infantry), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving with 8066th Mechanized Reconnaissance Platoon attached to the 89th Medium Tank Battalion, 29th Regimental Combat Team, 24th Infantry Division. First Lieutenant Weathers distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces near Haman, Korea, on 2 August 1950. The 8066th Reconnaissance Platoon was spearheading an attack by the 19th Regimental Combat Team when they came under enemy fire which included mortar and bazooka fire. Lieutenant Weathers’ vehicle received a direct hit and his arm was partially blown off. At that instant the infantry came under terrific enemy machine-gun and, despite his serious wound, Lieutenant Weathers seized his rifle and, single-handed, attacked an enemy machine-gun nest. He silence the machine-gun nest but during this action he was killed by sniper fire.
