The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Master Sergeant Victor Manuel Iglesias (ASN: RA-10401041), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company F, 2d Battalion, 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On 23 April 1951, in the vicinity of Ognyo-bong, Korea, Company F was attacked by a numerically superior enemy force. During the prolonged engagement, the Second Platoon reported to the command post that the ammunition supply was dangerously low. Sergeant Iglesias immediately organized carrying parties and courageously made repeated trips through withering enemy fire to replenish the unit’s supply. Receiving an urgent call for ammunition from a defensive position which was being subjected to concentrated fire, Sergeant Iglesias secured the ammunition and, while proceeding to the imperiled position, was mortally wounded by hostile rifle fire. Sergeant Iglesias’ gallant and aggressive actions enabled the unit to contain the attack and reflects the highest credit upon himself and the military service.
