The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant Albert W. Yeakey (ASN: RA-37697607), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with Medical Company, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in Korea. On 5 and 6 September 1950 near Hoeman, Korea, the unit which Sergeant Yeakey served as aidman was subjected to repeated fanatic hostile attacks which cut off supply routes. Having set up an emergency aid station within the perimeter, he moved about the area, heedless of the intense hostile action, to render first aid and remove wounded to the aid station. By his expert care and bold courage, he saved numerous lives. Sergeant Yeakey’s valorous devotion to duty and notable professional skill reflect great credit on himself and the Army Medical Service.
