The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Jacob Millman (ASN: RA-11201479), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company E, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 8 October 1951 in the vicinity of Sanggonbae, Korea. On that date Company E had the mission of securing a strategic hill defended by a numerically superior enemy force well-entrenched in heavily timbered bunkers. As the friendly units advanced, heavy concentrations of enemy mortar, artillery, automatic weapons and small arms fire pinned them down. Friendly artillery was supplying cover fire for the advance, but was in need of adjustments. Corporal Millman, fully realizing the seriousness of this situation and with complete disregard for his personal safety, voluntarily crossed the fire-swept terrain. Crawling through the mud, he finally reached a suitable position on a topmost ridge line. From this point he located the enemy emplacements and relayed the information back to the artillery section. Through his heroic actions, adequate supporting fire was maintained, thus enabling his unit to continue in the assault and secure its objective with a minimum of friendly casualties. The gallantry in action and devotion to duty displayed by Corporal Millman on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
