Paul J. Gregory

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Seaman Apprentice Paul Johnson Gregory (NSN: 9884425), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy in the Korean Theater on 15 September 1950. While a member of a landing craft during assault operations on enemy beaches, Seaman Gregory returned with the coxswain of the boat to the beach and assisted in rescuing from a group undergoing sniper fire a wounded Marine and returned him to safety. His daring initiative and courage were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
