About the PUC:
The Presidential Unit Citation (PUC), originally known as the Distinguished Unit Citation, is a prestigious award given to units of the U.S. uniformed services and allied forces for extraordinary heroism in combat. Established for actions on or after December 7, 1941—the date of the Attack on Pearl Harbor and the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War II—the citation recognizes units that demonstrate exceptional gallantry, determination, and esprit de corps under extremely hazardous conditions, distinguishing them above other units participating in the same campaign.
