The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant First Class Warren A. Reeves (ASN: RA-37670005), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of the 3d Reconnaissance Company, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On 18 January 1951, near Kumyangjang, Korea, Sergeant Reeves distinguished himself in action against an armed enemy when the platoon in which he was a member was ambushed. When the platoon first contacted the enemy, Sergeant Reeves dismounted his tank, immediately organized his men and assaulted the enemy positions, successfully eliminating them, thus permitting the platoon to escape from the ambush. During this engagement Sergeant Reeves was wounded while helping a wounded compatriot to safety. His initiative, daring leadership, and heroism are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
