FIRST LIEUTENANT ROBERT E. STROM, 01174449, Infantry, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2d Battalion, 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 5 June 1951, during the securing of a bridgehead on the Hant'an River near Sonjong, Korea, an officer was seriously wounded by the heavy enemy machine gun fire. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Lieutenant STROM moved through the intense hostile fire to where the stricken officer was lying, lifted him, and carried him 600 yards to a safe position. Lieutenant STROM'S heroic and selfless action enabled the officer to receive vitally needed medical assistance and reflects the highest credit upon himself and the military service.
