The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Corporal Glenn A. Crim, Jr. (MCSN: 457899), United States Marine Corps Reserve, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a Fire Group Leader in a platoon of Company A, Firs Battalion, Twenty-fifth Marines, FOURTH Marine Division in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands on 19 February 1945. Volunteering to assist in the destruction of a heavily fortified enemy pill box which was holding up the advance of his company, Corporal Crim braved hostile mortar, rocket and small arms fire to charge the position and, surprising the enemy, aided in killing the four occupants and in destroying the emplacement, thereby enabling our front lines to move forward at a critical time. His heroic conduct and unwavering devotion to duty upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
