The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Field Artillery) Edwin G. Morrow (ASN: 0-2014537), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Battery B, 15th Field Artillery Battalion, 2d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 3 September 1951 in the vicinity of Worun-ni, Korea. On this date Lieutenant Morrow was in capacity of a forward observer for Company B, 9th Infantry Regiment. On this occasion, Company B was pinned down by enemy machine gun and mortar fire. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lieutenant Morrow left his position of comparative safety and advanced under intense fire to a more forward and highly exposed observation post where he could better adjust fire on the enemy. Although he was painfully wounded, he refused to leave the observation post and continued to adjust devastating artillery fire until the targets were destroyed. The gallantry in action and devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Morrow reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
