David Doyle, Medal of Honor winner, dies at 64

WEST CHESTER, Pa. - The Congressional Medal of Honor Society says medal recipient David C. Dolby has died at age 64.

Dolby was from Royersford, Pa., about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The society says he died Friday in Spirit Lake, Idaho. Friends say Dolby had gone there for a gathering of veterans. A cause of death has not been announced.

The society says there are fewer than 90 living recipients of the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award for valor.

Dolby received the honor because of his actions in Vietnam, where he was credited with saving the lives of fellow soldiers on May 21, 1966.

Dolby served five tours in Vietnam. He received his medal from President Lyndon Johnson on Sept. 28, 1968.
