The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star (Army Award) to Sergeant Frederick W. P. Uebler (MCSN: 850427), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against an armed enemy near Paggok, Korea, on 8 September 1950. Sergeant Uebler while serving as Liaison Wire Team Chief, attached to Headquarters Battery, First Battalion, Eleventh Marines, First Provisional Marine Brigade (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force, Yongsan, Korea, was checking telephone lines under enemy mortar and artillery fire, approaching the town of Paggok, where he was to make junction with another wire team approaching from the opposite direction. Adjacent to the town, personnel of the wire teams were pinned down and friendly vehicles halted by automatic weapons fire. Sergeant Uebler, without hesitation, and without regard for his personal safety, entered the town, searched out and killed the enemy automatic rifleman by employing a captured enemy submachine gun. Sergeant Uebler then proceeded to carry out his assigned mission and to establish vitally important communication lines. The gallantry displayed by Sergeant Uebler reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
