He earned various military decorations, including the Combat Infantryman's Badge, 2 Bronze Stars for valor, the Air Medal and the Cross of Gallantry from the Republic of Vietnam. He was one of two US Army Officers described in a front page article by Peter A. Jay in the Washington Post on Monday, May 3, 1971 entitled "A Vanishing American Role; Vietnamese Replace Advisers - U.S. Role Lessens In Calm Viet District" involving an armed midnight motorbike patrol along rice paddy dikes in the rural Vietnamese countryside. One of the two reporters involved recently said of this night that it was the only time that he felt he had to carry a weapon for personal protection during his entire time in Vietnam. Dan has a strong, continuing interest in military and veterans affairs.
