Spending nearly 35 months in Vietnam, he earned 4 awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross, 37 Air Medals, and 3 Purple Hearts. One DFC citation reports that even though he was wounded himself, he continued flying for nearly 13 hours during which time he rescued many casualties under heavy enemy fire. He was selected "Army Aviator of the Year" in 1964 and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce honored him as an "Outstanding Young American." Following a battalion command in Germany, his life was cut short when a terrorist group exploded several bombs at the V Corps Headquarters in Frankfurt. In recognition of his service, the US Army installation at Ziegenberg, Germany, home of the 68th Medical Group, was renamed "Camp Paul Bloomquist."
