[3] Captain Grant's official Medal of Honor citation reads: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.

Company A was participating in a search and destroy operation when the leading platoon made contact with the enemy and a fierce fire-fight ensued.

Grant moved under intense fire along the hastily formed defensive line repositioning soldiers to fill gaps created by the mounting casualties and inspiring and directing the efforts of his men to successfully repel the determined enemy onslaught.

Grant hastened to his aid, in the face of the mass of fire of the entire enemy force, and moved him to a more secure position.

With a supply of hand grenades, he crawled forward under a withering hail of fire and knocked out the machine gun, killing the crew, after which he moved the wounded man to safety.

His heroic actions saved the lives of a number of his comrades and enabled the task force to repulse the vicious assaults and defeat the enemy.
