The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Captain (Chaplain), [then First Lieutenant] Carl H. Hudson (ASN: 0-970221), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Headquarters, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, near Osan, Korea, on 4 & 5 July 1950. His regiment was making its initial stand against overwhelming numbers of the advancing enemy. Throughout the engagement Chaplain Hudson repeatedly performed many acts of heroism and complete devotion to his fellow men. Completely unmindful of his own safety he exposed himself time and again ministering to and aiding in the evacuation of the wounded. When the order to withdraw was received he moved among the men, encouraging them with words of solace and inspiring them to highest possible degree of determination. Chaplain Hudson’s exemplary actions and complete devotion to the men of his command aided materially in the successful withdrawal, saved the lives of many of his comrades and reflect great credit on himself and the U.S. Chaplains Corps.
