Bronze Star
Medal Awarded
To Capt. Curl
Captain William W. Curl, son
of Mrs. W. W. Curl, Jr. of Pem
broke, and the late Mr. Curl,
has been presented the Bronze
Star Medal of the United States
Army, by direction of the presi
dent of the United States of
America.
Capt. Curl received the cita
tion as a result of outstanding
meritorious service in the Re
public of Vietnam where he was
assigned as American Adviser
of Vietnamese at Ninh Hoa,
Vietnam, from August, 1907 to
August, 1968.
The text of his award reads
as follows:
"For distinguishing himself
by out standing meritorious
serv i c e i n connection with
OKS
Click!...
and the power is on!
Simple . . just flip a switch . . and the
/ Jl ; magic cf electricity is there to serve
„ you. Everybody takes this for granted
nowadays.
But for many of our Members, it was a long delayed
pleasure. Cooperative Rural Electrification makes it
possible.
Today, with the electric power needs of our Members
doubling every five to seven years, were busy heavy
ing up, replacing old lines, developing new techniques
to meet the requirements of the future.
In our service areas, modern living, modern farming,
continuing growth and progress ... all demand a
reliable source of low-cost electric power. Supplying
it is our mission, and we re ready to meet the challenge.

Vietnam during the period Au
gust, 1967 to August, 1968.
Through his untiring efforts
and professional ability, he con
sistently obtained outstanding
results. He was quick to grasp
the implications of new prob
, lems with which he was faced
. as a result of ever changing sit
uations and to find ways and
means to solve those problems.
’ The energetic application of his
extensive knowledge has materi
ally contributed to the efforts
of the United States Mission to
the Republic of Vietnam to as
, sist that country in ridding it
■ self of the communist threat to
it,s freedom. His performance of
, duty was in keeping with the
highest traditions of the United
; States Army and reflects great
credit upon himself and the
