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 Second Lieutenant (Medical Corps) Trevor J. Perry (ASN: 0-57438), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving with the Medical Company, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. On 24 July 1950, near Yongam-ni, Korea, the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry was attacked by a strong enemy force. Lieutenant Perry, although exposed to intense artillery and mortar fire remained in the forward area to give treatment to the wounded and supervise their evacuation. He continued to treat the wounded until he himself was mortally wounded by enemy fire. His willingness to sacrifice his life in caring for his comrades reflects great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
