Baca, John P. Medal of Honor Recipient, United States of America.  Specialist Fourth Class,U.S. Army, Company D, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. Entered service at: Fort Ord, Calif. Born: 10 January 1949, Providence, R.l. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty February 10, 1970 Republic of Vietnam, Baca unhesitatingly, and with complete disregard for his own safety, covered the grenade with his steel helmet and fell on it as the grenade exploded, thereby absorbing the lethal fragments and concussion with his body.  His gallant action and total disregard for his personal well-being directly saved 8 men from certain serious injury or death. The extraordinary courage and selflessness displayed by Sp4c. Baca, at the risk of his life, are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great  credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.
