CAPTAIN CALVIN E. GLIDEWELL, 028418, Infantry, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3d Battalion, 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 5 June 1951, near Chail-li, Korea, Company "I" spearheaded the battalion's attack on enemy positions across the Hant'an River. As the lead elements approached the river, they were subjected to an intense volume of enemy fire; and the men, attempting to take advantage of the scant cover which was afforded, scattered over a large area and rapidly became disorganized. Captain GLIDEWELL, Company Commander, fearlessly exposed himself to intense fire in order to regroup his men and direct their fire and movement. Under Captain GLIDEWELL'S skillful direction, the unit held its ground throughout the night and, during the early morning hours, successfully force the enemy to abandon his positions. The heroism and aggressiveness displayed by Captain GLIDEWELL reflect great credit upon himself and are in keeping with the high traditions of the military service. Entered the military service from the state of Alabama.
