On July 21, 1969, Mr. Hendrix, a private first class, was a doorgunner on a Huey helicopter attempting to rescue a reconnaissance team near Hue when it came under intense automatic weapons fire. Mr. Hendrix's "accurate oppressive fire enabled the helicopter to hover above the pickup point. Hendrix moved forward to drop the extraction ropes to the soldiers below," then he returned to his post and "neutralized the advancing insurgents who were only 20 meters from the ground troops. Lowering clouds and nightfall complicated the operation, but Hendrix's oral directions to the pilot were invaluable in keeping the aircraft from striking the surrounding trees." He continued to provide information to the pilot as the helicopter was forced to fly at a very low level through the cloud-filled mountain passes.
Among his other medals is the Purple Heart.
