Dale Marlow Brosi

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Dale Marlow Brosi, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while leading his squad in a combat patrol near Mundungni, Korea, on 1 November 1951. As the patrol advanced it was subjected to intense enemy small arms, automatic weapons, grenade and mortar fire. Sergeant Brosi exposed himself to the concentrated fire and moving from position to position he encouraged the men and directed their fire. When the opposition increased so that the patrol was pinned down, Sergeant Brosi began inching his way toward the enemy position, rapidly firing his rifle. Moving within position he leaped to his feet, and hurling grenades, charged the enemy killing two of them and disorganizing the remainder. His squad followed him and completed the rout.
