Iowa Congressman Steve King has announced that he will be honoring Sioux City resident and Vietnam War Veteran Richard Plueger with medals he did not formally receive for his service. The ceremony will take place 4-p.m. Thursday, at Congressman King’s office in Sioux City.
Plueger is set to receive: The National Defense Service Medal; Vietnam Service Medal with three Bronze Service stars; A Vietnam Campaign Medal with 1960 Device; Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Citation (Gallantry Cross with Palm and Frame), and a Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon.
Richard Plueger joined the Navy in 1966, at the age of 17. Seven months later he was enrolled in Engineman Class A school to learn his field which transitioned him to be stationed in Vietnam until October 1967. He spent most of his time in Dong Ha, Vietnam where he ran supplies on a four man craft called “Mike 8.” He was responsible for hauling ammo, tanks , M-tracks and jet fuel for the Air Force Base. During his time in Vietnam, Plueger survived many fire fights along the Cu Viet River, which was the dividing line between North and South Vietnam.
He was then transferred to the USS Shadwell in Norfolk, VA where he worked on two cruises that took him to Puerto Rico, Turkey, Spain, Italy and Greece. During one of the “night maneuvers” at sea, his ship was hit by another ship leaving them stranded for three days and then towed to Malta for three months of ship repairs. However, the ship was decommissioned in October 1969 and Plueger was released to inactive duty.

Officials with the Red Oak Police Department report a lengthy investigation which dates back to November 2012 and involved three law enforcement agencies, resulted in the arrest Tuesday night of a Clarinda woman. 30-year old Audrey Nicole Williams was taken into custody at around 9:05-p.m. in Clarinda, on numerous charges filed by Red Oak Police and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities say Williams was charged in Iowa with a total of 10-counts of felony forgery, and one felony count of ongoing criminal conduct. Additional charges are possible, pending completion of the investigation into the case. Officials in Nodaway County, Missouri say they too, are investigating an incident of forgery also involving Williams, that will likely result in additional charges against her in that state, as well.
Williams was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $30,000 cash bond. The investigation into her alleged actives was conducted through a joint investigation involving the Red Oak P-D, Montgomery County, Iowa, and Nodaway County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Offices.
