Bronze Star w/V for heroism during a Viet Cong attack during a sweeping operation north of Saigon. Without hesitation and with disregard for his own safety, Cassel continually maneuvered the squads of his unit to advantageous firing positions. When ordered to clear the enemy positions, his leadership inspired his men resulting in a successful attack.
