The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Harold Raymond Anderegg, United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving as Commanding Officer of Company G, 2d Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, in action against the enemy near Chorwon, Korea, on 8 June 1951. Company G was attacking an enemy position when it was subjected to a strong enemy counterattack under which it suffered heavy losses and soon became disorganized. Disregarding his personal safety, First Lieutenant Anderegg moved through the intense fire to a position from which he could better direct his men. Shouting words of encouragement and giving explicit instructions to the troops, he reformed his positions and placed his machine guns where they would be of most service. Although the enemy charged with considerable strength, the men of Company G, inspired and aided by First Lieutenant Anderegg’s superior leadership, were able to repulse the attack and maintain the position. The gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty demonstrated by First Lieutenant Anderegg, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
