The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain (Field Artillery) Kincheon Hubert Bailey, Jr. (ASN: 0-27531), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of 64th Field Artillery Battalion, 25th Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. When his artillery section in the vicinity of Haman, Korea, was being attacked by numerically superior enemy forces on 2 September 1950, Lieutenant Bailey went to a howitzer and turned it completely around to fire point blank at the oncoming enemy. Despite the intense enemy fire he remained in the open to relay fire commands for he mission. Lieutenant Bailey’s courageous devotion to duty and outstanding leadership were responsible for disrupting the fanatical attack and reflect great credit upon himself and uphold the highest traditions of the Military Service of the United States.
