The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Sergeant Thomas J. Hulsey (ASN: RA-44212041), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Battery A, 25th Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons) Battalion, 25th Infantry Division, in Korea. On 6 September 1950, when his battery near Chiriwon-ni, Korea, was attacked by a numerically superior hostile force, Sergeant Hulsey remained in his exposed position on top of a M-16 multiple gun, despite the intense enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire directed at the position. He continued to direct the fire of his men until mortally wounded. By his calm and courageous leadership, he was instrumental in repelling the attack. Sergeant Hulsey’s gallant action reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
