* Interesting Notes:

Private First Class Bill S. Maddox also earned the Silver Star while in Korea

Second Lieutenant Norman G. Miller also earned the Soldier's Medal in Korea

Sergeant Eloy Madrid ignored orders to evacuate when the enemy came within feet of overrunning his platoon. He instead remained with the wounded for 36 hours until he himself was wounded.

Due to Corporal James Mislosky's selfless actions, at least 30 of his comrades lives were saved.

Realizing that many of the wounded would soon fall into enemy hands, Sergeant Hans Molgard voluntarily and repeatedly went forward under intense enemy fire to remove wounded to safety.

Captain Edger M. Miller was a Dental Corps officer.

Murphy, Army Medical Service, United States Army, a member of the Medical Company, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, distinguished himself by heroic achievement on 11 October 1952 in the vicinity of Chorwon, North Korea. On that date, Private Murphy was serving as the Medical Aidman of the 3d Platoon of Company “G” as it started on the mission of attacking and seizing Hill 200 and continuing as far north as possible. When contact was made with the enemy, several casualties were inflicted upon the friendly unit. The intensity of fire was so terrific that the wounded had to be evacuated from the hill to a safer area somewhat removed from the full face of the battle prior to rendering first aid. Private Murphy, with complete disregard for personal safety, remained under the intense enemy fire treating the wounded and examining each prior to evacuation. He heroically saved the life of one man by stopping profuse bleeding and treating him for extreme shock. He was among the last to leave the danger of the immediate battle area, carrying the last wounded man with him. The outstanding heroism and consummate devotion to duty displayed by Private Murphy reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.

At that time Sergeant Murray was a medical aid man attached to the 38th Field Artillery Battalion which was giving direct support to the infantry, firing point blank on Hill 285. The enemy was counterattacking allied positions with a ferocity seldom encountered on a battlefield. Sergeant Murray, noticing a wounded soldier lying directly in the field of fire, and with utter disregard for personal safety, exposed himself to a withering hail of enemy and friendly fire, to administer aid to a wounded comrade. Despite the enemy’s efforts to retard his mission, Sergeant Murray calmly and courageously administered the life giving plasma to the already twice wounded soldier. Sergeant Murray then proceeded to half drag and half carry his comrade to a point of relative safety from which he was evacuated to a battalion aid station. The heroism displayed by Sergeant Murray on this occasion was above and beyond the call of duty and reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
