===Army citation===
For his part in the action on Okinawa he was awarded the [[Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army)|Army Distinguished Service Medal]]. His citation reads in part:
:''Going ashore with the early landing elements on April 1, 1945, he began a bitter three-month campaign ... with outstanding professional skill, forceful leadership and unswerving determination, he directed his units ... repeatedly disregarding personal safety to secure a first hand estimate of the battle situation and inspiring his men to heights of bravery and accomplishment.''
