Robert E Grant - Korean War Veteran 1950 to 1953.

AWARD OF THE BRONZE STAR MEDAL--By direction of the President, under the provisions of Executive Order 9419, 4 February 1944 (sec II, WD Bul 3, 1944), and pursuant to authority in AR 600-45, the Bronze Star Medal with Letter "V" device for heroic achievement in connection with military operations against an enemy of the United States is awarded to:
CORPORAL ROBERT E GRANT, RA19386404, Infantry, United States Army, Medical Company (then Headquarters and Headquarters Company attached to the Raider Platoon), 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, distinguished himself by
heroic achievement on 26 and 27 September 1952 in the vicinity of Chorwori, North Korea. On those dates, Corporal GRANT was an Aidman assigned to a volunteer raiding platoon whose mission was to raid enemy positions approximately four
thousand yards in enemy territory, inflict casualties and take a prisoner. During the early part of the initial engagement, Corporal GRANT received a painful wound in the arm from enemy mortar fragments. Ignoring the wound which had rendered his arm useless, he continued in the advance up the hill, constantly exposing himself to the intense enemy fire in order to reach and aid his wounded comrades. Throughout the entire action, with complete disregard for personal safety Corporal GRANT transversed the hazardous battle site, treating the wounded and evacuating them to positions of relative safety. During the withdrawal and return to the Main Line of Resistance, Corporal GRANT refused aid for his own wound, concentrating only on the needs of the friendly casualties. The selfless courage, inspiring devotion to duty and comrades displayed by Corporal GBANT on this occasion reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the Federal service from California.
