AWARD REVOKED:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Second Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Third Award of the Silver Star to Major (Infantry) Albert Ernest Milloy (ASN: 0-420933/0-35289), United States Army, for gallantry in action as Commanding Officer, 2d Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action on 25 May 1951 in the vicinity of Hyon-ni, Korea. His Battalion was attacking a numerically superior enemy force offering stubborn resistance from well dug-in positions. Due to long combat exposure, the troops were extremely tired and the attacks bogged down. Major Milloy realized the seriousness of delay and unhesitatingly moved to the lead of the battalion. Moving from man to man, Major Milloy constantly exposed himself to the enemy fire at close range. Through painfully wounded in the arm, he courageously continued to lead the attack and fire is own weapon. Inspired by his determined leadership, the battalion resumed the attack and finally succeeded in repulsing the enemy with heavy losses. Major Milloy himself did not submit to medical aid until ordered to do so by the Assistant Division Commander. The gallantry displayed by Major Milloy reflects great credit upon himself and the military service. [So much of Section II (Award of the Second Oak Leaf Cluster to the Silver Star), General orders No. 286, Headquarters, 2d Infantry Division, 12 July 1951, as pertains to Major Albert E. Milloy, 0-35289, 38th Infantry Regiment, is revoked.]
