20 years ago today.
Today and every day we remember CW5 Jamie D. Weeks for whom we honor specifically in the the Night Stalker Bass tournament with our Active Duty Memorial Big Bass award.
Jamie was awarded our Nations third highest award for his actions in battle.
His Silver Star Citation reads:
For Gallantry in action on 14 May 2006, while serving as an AH-6 Pilot operating against an entrenched enemy force during a daylight raid in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Chief Warrant Officer Five Weeks continued to make successive assaults in support of the ground forces, without regard for his own personal safety, until his aircraft was shot down. His actions destroyed several enemy positions, enabling the ground forces to consolidate into defensive positions. Without Chief Warrant Officer Five Weeks' courage and gallantry under hostile fire, the ground forces would have sustained significant casualties. He directly contributed to the successful ex*****on of this direct action mission. Chief Warrant Officer Five Weeks' distinctive accomplishments are in keeping with the finest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, this Command, and the United States Army
