Headquarters, Department of the Army
General Orders No. 49 - 13 September 1957

Corporal Ivan E. Utter, Army Medical Service, United States Army, distinguished himself by heroism near Tumyong-Dong, Korea, on 24 December 1952. After a heavy enemy bombardment during the night by artillery, mortar, and rocket, many bunkers were collapsed. While evacuating wounded, Corporal Utter discovered a soldier pinned under the wreckage of a bunker. Finding no other means of entry, Corporal Utter went to the front aperture, fully exposed to enemy observation, removed the wounded man and carried him to safety across terrain open to enemy fire. Corporal Utter continued to aid wounded in exposed areas, inspiring his comrades to tenaciously hold the hill in spite of intense fire. His bravery and devotion to duty are in the highest traditions of the military service.
