ROLL OF HONOUR:

Silver Star : The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Chief Warrant Officer Five Jamie Dunbar Weeks, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as an AH-6 pilot with Company B, 1st Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) on 14 May 2006, while operating against an entrenched enemy force during a daylight raid in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Major Worrell continued to make successive assaults in support of the ground forces, without regard for his own personal safety, until his aircraft was shot down. His actions destroyed several enemy positions, enabling the ground forces to consolidate into defensive positions. Without Major Worrell's courage and gallantry under hostile fire, the ground forces would have sustained significant casualties. He directly contributed to the successful execution of this direct action mission. Major Worrell's distinctive accomplishments are in keeping with the finest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, this command, and the United States Army.
Legion of Merit : The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, 20 July 1942, takes pride in presenting the Legion of Merit (Posthumously) to Chief Warrant Officer Five Jamie D. Weeks, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States from 15 May 1996 to 14 May 2006 in numerous positions of responsibility including AH-6 Aircraft Modernization Attack Fully Mission Qualified Pilot, Instructor Pilot, Company Safety Officer, and AH/MH-6 Section Leader. Chief Warrant Officer Five Weeks' steadfast devotion and loyal service over his 25-year career reflect distinct credit upon himself, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), the United States Special Operations Command, and the United States Army.
