The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Stillman E. Hazeltine (ASN: 0-959319), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company F, 2d Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in Korea. On 24 November 1951, as the 2d Battalion advanced upon the enemy-held Hill 355, near Kowang-San, Korea, Company F, 2d Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Hazeltine, led the assault. Moving forward in the darkness, the unit made contact with enemy outposts and was subjected to heavy fire from automatic weapons and grenades which wounded the point platoon leader and platoon sergeant. Realizing that the advance must continue, Lieutenant Hazeltine took charge of the platoon and, heedless of his personal safety, led it in a successful attack on the objective. In two successive skillful maneuvers, he ordered supporting fire while personally leading the assault platoons in seizing the objective. Utilizing the foothold gained by the assault company, other battalion units advanced and completed securing the objective. Lieutenant Hazeltine’s gallant and courageous leadership reflects the highest credit upon himself and the military service.
