Cunningham’s valorous actions, in particular during a battle on March 4, 2002, contributed immeasurably to the tremendous success of the task force. Spc Cunningham was an integral member ofthe assault force that attacked a fortified enemy position to relieve the pressure on Chalk 1, who had been fighting the enemy for over two hours. Spc. Cunningham was instrumental in providing security for the aid and litter teams and facilitated the consolidation of all casualties to a safe area. The gallantry displayed by Spc. Cunningham during 18 hours of combat is in keeping with the highest standard of valor.
