July 24, 1966, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Serving as an infantryman, St. Pittman's daring initiative, bold fighting spirit and selfless devotion to duty inflicted casualties, disrupted the enemy attack and saved the lives of many of his wounded comrades. His personal valor at grave risk to himself reflects the highest credit upon himself, the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Services.
