The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Clifford C. Fuller (ASN: US-51156977), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving with Company G, 2d Battalion, 65th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division. On the night of 13 June and during the early morning hours of 14 June 1953, Company G set out to assault enemy positions on Hill 412 in the vicinity of Sagimak, Korea. When three highly effective assaults had been met by the enemy with intense mortar and artillery fire, the order to return to safety was given. Private Fuller, an automatic rifleman, observed enemy soldiers moving toward some comrades who had become casualties in the close quarter fighting which had taken place. He immediately exposed himself to heavy artillery, mortar and grenade fire as he charged to the crest of the hill. There, he halted the enemy with accurate and effective fire while the casualties were recovered. He remained in this position until the last man had been evacuated. Private Fuller’s outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
