The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain (Infantry) George W. Isenberg (ASN: 0-445101), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of the 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy on 7 January 1951 in the vicinity of Wonju, Korea. On that date elements of two rifle companies had fallen back in the face of intense enemy fire and attacks by numerically superior enemy forces. Captain Isenberg, without thought for his own safety and often exposed to enemy fire, collected these men, organized them into squads and personally led them as they successfully counterattacked and regained their former positions. His display of courage and superior leadership was greatly responsible for the success of the counterattack. He then left the groups he had organized, and returned to each of his heavy weapons positions to make certain they were properly deployed to support the battalion. His great skill and sound judgment aided in the defeat of the enemy and his heroic actions in the face of the enemy served to bolster the morale and fighting spirit of his troops. The gallantry displayed on this occasion by Captain Isenberg reflects the highest great upon himself is in keeping with the fine traditions of the military service.
