The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Gerald Millman (ASN: RA-13281639), United States Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy as a member of the Clearing Company, 24th Medical Battalion, 24th Infantry Division, in action on 20 July 1950 at Taejon, Korea. Private First Class Millman’s platoon was rendering medical support to the units in surrounded Taejon. Casualties were mounting and supplies were running low. Realizing this, Private Millman and a companion loaded an ambulance with critically needed supplies and ran the road blocks into the town. During the trip, they passed through intense enemy fire directed at their vehicle. Private First Class Millman was seriously wounded in the chest and abdomen. By moving these supplies into Taejon, Private First Class Millman enabled his unit to perform its assigned mission of treating the wounded. His actions were in accord with the high standards of the military service.
