The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Field Artillery) Henry S. Dunbar, III (ASN: 0-959156), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Battery A, [then Battery B], 82d Antiaircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion (Self Propelled), 2d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 6 October 1951 in the vicinity of Imokchong, Korea. On this date, elements of antiaircraft firing vehicles were being used in a close support mission for the assaulting infantrymen. Lieutenant Dunbar, a forward observer, disregarding the intense hostile artillery and mortar fire, remained in his exposed position and directed the friendly artillery fire. With complete disregard for his personal safety, he continued to direct accurate and effective fire upon the hostile positions until he was wounded and forced to be evacuated. As a result of his accurate direction of artillery fire, his sections were instrumental in the destruction of an enemy battalion. The gallantry in action and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Dunbar on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
