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 Guadalupe Navarro (ASN: RA-18379514), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Medical Company, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 30 July 1951 in the vicinity of Kunwha, Korea. On that date Corporal Navarro, a medical aidman, was attached to Company K during its assault on enemy positions. With complete disregard for his personal safety, he repeatedly exposed himself to the intense hostile fire in order to administer aid to his wounded comrades. In the course of this act, Corporal Navarro heard a cry for help from a wounded soldier. Without hesitating, he crossed the fire-swept area to the side of the wounded man. Unable to treat the man in the exposed area where he lay due to the intense hostile fire, Corporal Navarro, with the aid of another rifleman, carried his wounded comrade to a covered position where he administered medical aid. His selfless and heroic actions were an inspiration to all who witnessed his act and undoubtedly saved the lives of many of his comrades. The gallantry in action and devotion to duty displayed by Corporal Navarro on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
