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 Isaac S. Davis (ASN: RA-18007070), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company M, 3d Battalion, 5th Regimental Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, in Korea. On 2 September 1950, near Neylon, Korea, when his battalion was subjected to an attack by numerically superior hostile forces, Sergeant Davis manned a machine gun when its gunner was killed, and delivered withering fire at the enemy until the weapon was destroyed by a hostile hand grenade. Seizing his rifle, he continued to provide covering fire for the withdrawal of the unit until all troops had reached the new position. Sergeant Davis’ courageous devotion to duty reflects great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
