Throughout 34 hours of incessant attack Sergeant First Class Bryant moved throughout his position directing fire, distributing ammunition, assisting the wounded, and providing the leadership and inspiration. When a helicopter drop of ammunition was made, he ran through the enemy fire to retrieve the boxes and distributed needed ammunition. He led a patrol outside the perimeter and came under intense automatic weapons fire. He single-handedly repulsed one attack and, seeing a wounded enemy crawled forward alone to retrieve him for intelligence purposes. Finding the man dead he crawled back to his patrol and led his men back to the company position where he organized a patrol in an attempt to break through the enemy. He advanced 200 meters when this patrol was pinned down and SFC Bryant was wounded. He rallied his men, called for gunship support, and directed suppressive fire on the enemy positions. Following the last gunship attack, he charged an enemy automatic weapons position, overrunning it, and single-handedly destroyed its 3 defenders. Inspired by his heroic example, his men renewed their attack. While regrouping his small force for the final assault SFC Bryant fell mortally wounded by an enemy rocket. |
