The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Jared William Morrow (ASN: 0-27566), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Headquarters, 2d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 1 September 1950 in the vicinity of Yongsan, Korea. On that date Company E, 9th Infantry Regiment was under attack by a numerically superior enemy force attempting to surround the company. Lieutenant Morrow, Aide-de-Camp to the Commanding General, voluntarily and with complete disregard for his personal safety, joined the friendly unit to aid in repelling the enemy force. Under his gallant leadership and courageous example the men of the company were able to repulse several enemy attacks, thereby preventing the hostile force from encircling the friendly unit and cutting it off from other units. During the ensuing action Lieutenant Morrow was wounded in the leg, and lost his life from loss of blood and shock while being evacuated. The gallantry and outstanding leadership displayed by Lieutenant Morrow on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
