The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private Bernard Goodstein (ASN: US-51169464), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of the Medical Company, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On the night of 24 April and during the early morning hours of 25 April 1953, elements of Company F, of which Private Goodstein was Medical Aidman, were defending their positions on Outpost “Harry”, in the vicinity of Surang-ni, Korea, when a numerically superior hostile force attacked. In the ensuing fire fight, many casualties were inflicted upon the friendly forces. Observing this, Private Goodstein left the comparative safety of his covered position and moved about the fire-swept area administering aid to the wounded and encouraging them. With complete disregard for his personal safety, he frequently exposed himself to direct hostile fire to move a wounded fellow soldier to a location where he could be treated. He remained with the wounded and refused to return to safety until the last casualty had been evacuated. As a result of his actions, the lives of many friendly soldiers were saved. Private Goodstein’s outstanding gallantry, initiative and devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
