On that day, in Dong Xoai, Republic of Vietnam, the Special Forces camp where Williams was executive officer was attacked by a large Vietcong force. As the battle raged through the night and into the next day, Williams coordinated the defense and, eventually, the evacuation of the base. He was subsequently promoted to First Lieutenant and, on July 5, 1966, awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the battle.
