On April 1, 1966, Brems was killed in a terrorist explosion in front of the Victoria Hotel in Saigon leaving behind his parents and a 14-year-old sister, Coleen. For his bravery, Brems was awarded the Silver Star posthumously on April 17, 1966, just sixteen days after his death at the age of 19. The citation reads:
“For gallantry in action: Private First Class Brems distinguished himself on 1 April 1966 while serving as a military policeman performing security duties at the Victoria Hotel, a billet for American officers in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam. At approximately 0510 hours, a Viet Cong terrorist force approached the hotel with an explosive laden vehicle in at attempt to destroy the hotel and kill the American officers living there. As the terrorist approached his position, Private First Class Brems opened fire in the face of overwhelming odds and encouraged his Vietnamese counterpart to attempt to repulse the Viet Cong attack. Facing the charging vehicle and intense automatic weapons fire, he delivered maximum fire power and forced the driver to abandon the vehicle short of its intended goal. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Private First Class Brems continued to fire at the escaping terrorists until he was mortally wounded by the explosion of the vehicle. Through his courage, and devotion to duty, he not only prevented the explosive laden vehicle from entering the hotel, but also provided warning time for the occupants of the building to take cover. Because of Private First Class Brems’ extraordinary heroism in close combat against a numerically superior hostile force at the cost of his life was in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.”
