The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private Warren M. Clark (ASN: ER-15289104), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company E, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy on 7 January 1951 in the vicinity of Kamaji, Korea. His company, which was occupying defensive positions on high ground overlooking the town of Wonju, was subjected to a fierce attack by numerically superior enemy forces. A large group of the enemy was pushing forward across the saddle between two ridges where Private Clark, a Browning Automatic Rifleman, had his position. With complete indifference for his personal safety, and under intense hostile automatic weapons fire, he moved his weapon to a more hazardous but effective firing position. Here he intrepidly held his ground against overwhelming odds, repeatedly hurling back savage enemy onslaughts with heavy losses until he was struck by hostile fire and fell mortally wounded. His heroic stand, however, shattered the enemy’s attempt to penetrate his position and enabled his company to restore its original lines. The gallantry displayed by Private Clark reflects the highest great upon himself is in keeping with the fine traditions of the military service.
