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 Captain (Armor) Daniel P. Juraschek (ASN: 0-50234), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company A, 64th Heavy Tank Battalion, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On 6 February 1951, in the vicinity of Chechlong, Korea, Captain Juraschek commanded the lead company of an infantry-tank team on Task Force Bartlett. When the unit’s advance was held up by a partially destroyed bridge, Captain Juraschek made several unsuccessful attempts to by-pass the obstacle. Finally realizing that his only alternative was to attempt a crossing of the bridge, Captain Juraschek dismounted from his tank and, completely oblivious of the intense hostile mortar barrage blanketing the area, proceeded on foot, successfully guiding his own vehicle across the weakened structure. Ordering the remainder of the company to negotiate a similar crossing, he mounted and courageously stood exposed in the turret of the tank, directing effective fire on enemy positions. Captain Juraschek’s gallant actions and aggressive leadership reflects great credit upon himself and are in keeping with the esteemed traditions of the military service.
