On 28 February 1951, near Chamchen, Korea, Private MAYSONET'S unit was forced to withdraw from its positions by heavy enemy machine gun and mortar fire. With complete disregard for his own personal safety, Private MAYSONET returned to the position to carry one of his wounded comrades to safety. He also returned a second time to the fire blanketed area to help retrieve a recoilless rifle and move it to a new position from where fire could be directed against the enemy. The courage and devotion to duty displayed by Private MAYSONET reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the military service from Puerto Rico.
