His Citation Reads:
Serving as the Executive Officer for Battery B, 6th Battalion, 29th Field Artillery, Lt Souder was controlling the fires in support
of maneuver elements of the 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division. During the mission, fire broke out among equipment
that was stored near ammunition thus detonating some small arms, hand grenades and other explosives.
Disregarding his own safety, Lt Souder removed ammunition and explosives to a safe area. His actions
in this dangerous action prevented casualties and enabled the unit to continue its support mission.
