The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Master Sergeant [then Sergeant] Thomas C. Glasby (ASN: RA-14058158), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Medical Company, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 3 September 1951 in the vicinity of Yanggu, Korea. On this date, elements of the unit were engaged in a bitter struggle to secure a strategic enemy-held hill. Sergeant Glasby, a medical squad leader, advanced to the base of the hill and installed a forward casualty collecting point before the unit’s initial assault. During the encounter, Sergeant Glasby continued to work forward, administering prompt treatment and expediting the evacuation of wounded men. Although constantly subjected to hostile artillery and mortar fire, he continued his tasks in a dauntless manner. Later, Sergeant Glasby led litter squads up the hill side and directed the successful evacuation of the wounded. His courage and devotion to duty were an inspiration to his comrades and was directly responsible for saving the lives of many of the wounded men. The gallantry in action displayed by Sergeant Glasby reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
