Infantry, United States Army, company E, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, for heroism
in action against the enemy on 15 August 1950 near Waegwan, Korea. Lieutenant Jackson's
platoon was covering the withdrawal of the other units of his battalion to more tenable
positions when the enemy launched a strong attack. During the bitter action that ensued,
Lieutenant Jackson was wounded, but refused evacuation and continued to expose himself to the
hostile fire in order to direct his men. Only after the battalion reached new defensive
positions did he give the order for his platoon to pull back. He selflessly remained in
the area until all of his men were out of the danger area, and then, although wounded, he
carried an injured comrade to safety. Lieutenant Jackson's heroism and leadership reflect
great credit on himself and the military service. Entered federal service from West
Virginia.

Corporal R.D. James Jr., RA14249763, Army Medical
Service, United States Army, a member of Medical
Company, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry
Division, distinguished himself by heroic
achievement from 7 September to 11 September 1950 in
the vicinity of Mosan-Ni, Korea, when he was an
assistant driver of a litter jeep, assigned to duty
with a Battalion Aid Station. At this time the
enemy was launching an all-out offensive along the
Naktong River and the casualty rate was extremely
high. Disregarding the heavy enemy machine
gun, mortar and artillery fire, Corporal James
repeatedly risked his life as he assisted the jeep
driver in evacuating the wounded from positions
forward of the front lines. On many occasions,
his actions were of a purely voluntary nature and
were far beyond those expected in the course of
normal duty. By his heroic performance during
this critical period, Corporal James fully upheld
the finest traditions of the military service.
Entered the military service from North Carolina.

First Class Howard W. Janes, Infantry, U.S. Army, Company K, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry
Division, for heroism in action against the enemy on 22 February 1951 near Tokchon-ni, Korea.
After completion of the attack on Hill 201, the company was subjected to severe and accurate
enemy mortar and automatic small arms fire from the flank. Private Janes, in spite of the
intense hostile fire, administered first aid to four wounded men and carried them to the
comparative safety of a draw. This action necessitated negotiating very mountainous terrain and
being constantly exposed to the enemy. When the company was ordered to withdraw, Private Janes
voluntarily returned to the top of the hill and removed two 60mm mortars in order to prevent
capture by the enemy. The actions of Private Janes resulted in saving the lives of four men and
keeping two weapons from falling into hostile hands. Private Janes’ heroism reflects great
credit on himself and the military service. Entered federal service from Iowa.

a high hill to the left of the battalion front across an area consisting of approximately four
hundred yards of rice paddy, when it was pinned down by enemy fire. Without regard for his personal
safety, Corporal Jensen, accompanied by five other members of the platoon, went forward in the
face of intense automatic weapons fire and occupied the platoon objective on top of the hill,
forcing the enemy to withdraw with many casualties. During this action, Corporal Jensen was
mortally wounded. The heroic action displayed by Corporal Jensen on this occasion is in keeping

himself by heroic achievement on 28 November 1950 in the vicinity of Kunu-ri, Korea. On that
date Major Jenson was in a forward observation post while his unit was engaged in fighting a
delaying action against a numerically superior enemy force. When he observed a battalion sized
enemy force moving into a position overlooking the route of withdrawal of an adjacent unit,
he immediately called for an air strike and remained in the observation post to direct it. Despite
the heavy enemy fire which was now falling in the area, Major Jenson advanced to the exposed
crest of a hill in order to direct more effective fire upon the enemy. As a result of his heroic
action, the air strike was successful in inflicting heavy casualties upon the enemy and in delaying
their advance long enough for friendly forces to withdraw to more tenable positions. The heroism
displayed by Major Jenson reflects great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered

which was forced to withdraw due to encirclement by the enemy. With disregard for his own
personal safety, he exposed himself to heavy enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire to help
his men get into position and encourage them to fire on the enemy. Due to his courage and

of the battalion to withdraw to new positions with a minimum number of casualties. The act of
heroic achievement displayed by Lieutenant Johnsen reflects great credit on himself and the

positions, and from this vantage point, delivered
devastating mortar and small arms fire into the
battalion area. During this action, orders
were received to place fire on the enemy positions.

killed. The hill was retaken a few minutes
later by our infantry with practically no
resistance. The courage displayed by Private
Johnson on this occasion reflects great credit upon
