FIRST LIEUTENANT JAMES M. HILL, 01342376, Infantry, Company "B", 65th
Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 23 December 1950
near
Hungnam, Korea, an infantry squad moved y mistake into our own anti -
personnel mine field. Two mines exploded and seriously wounded four members
of the squad. With utter disregard for his personal safety, Lieutenant Hill
rushed into the mine field where the victims were, administered first aid
and
personally evacuated them from the mined area. Lieutenant Hill's heroism,
presence of mind, and speed of action reflect great credit upon himself
and
the military service. Entered the military service from the State of Pennsylvania.
