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 Abraham S. Kakar (ASN: RA-19426679), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving with Company F, 2d Battalion, 65th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division. On the afternoon of 10 June 1953, in the vicinity of Sagimak, Korea, as contact with the enemy was made by Company F, Private Kakar performed outstanding acts of heroism while under fire from enemy small arms, automatic weapons, grenades and mortars. Charging up towards an enemy held cave with grenades in his hands, under the devastating hail of fire from the position of the enemy force, Private Kakar hurled his grenades into the aperture of the position and partially neutralized it. He traversed an area exposed to enemy mortar fire to obtain more grenades. As he was returning to his initial position, an enemy mortar round exploded nearby. The fragments tore the helmet he was wearing from his head. Disregarding this completely, he returned to his position and proceeded to totally neutralize the enemy held cave. Private Kakar’s outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
