Co-recipient: Captain Thomas Nicholas MYKYTIUK

Corporal Charron and Captain Mykytiuk were deployed in Srebrenica, Bosnia-Hercegovina, when the town was shelled by a greater than normal concentration of fire on 12 April 1994. During a lull, they drove out to search for two missing soldiers and assist where possible. They came upon a site that had taken several direct hits, with many casualties. Despite renewed shelling, they were determined to assist the wounded civilians, and made several trips to bring them to the nearest hospital. These actions in dangerous circumstances were in the finest spirit of the United Nation's mandate.
