The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to First Lieutenant (Infantry) James M. Hill (ASN: 0-1342376), United States Army, for heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy of the United States while serving with Company B, 1st Battalion, 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, in action in Korea. On 23 December 1950 near Hungnam, Korea, an infantry squad moved by mistake into our own anti-personnel mine field. Two mines exploded and seriously wounded four members of the squad. With utter disregard for his personal safety, Lieutenant Hill rushed into the mine field where the victims were, administered first aid and personally evacuated them from the mined area. Lieutenant Hill’s heroism, presence of mind, and speed of action reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
