The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Commissioned Warrant Officer Marvin G. Myers (MCSN: 0-39932), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as a Forward Observer of Battery C, First Battalion, Eleventh Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 4 December 1950. Boldly leaving his shelter in the face of intense hostile machine gun and sniper fire which was inflicting numerous casualties in the convoy while it was stalled in the middle of an enemy roadblock, Commissioned Warrant Officer Myers voluntarily organized a makeshift crew, supervised the positioning of a 105-mm howitzer and directed its fire at hostile machine gun positions about 150 yards away. Fearlessly and courageously persisting in his self-assigned duty in the face of intense fire concentrated on his emplacement, he conducted the volunteer group in delivering effective fire which successfully destroyed or neutralized several enemy positions, thereby contributing materially in clearing the roadblock and permitting the convoy to advance. His initiative, indomitable fighting spirit and inspiring leadership reflect great credit upon Commissioned Warrant Officer Myers and the United States Naval Service.
