The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star to Master Sergeant Roger W. Remillard (ASN: RA-31305329), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company A, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy on 25 November 1950 in the vicinity of Kujang-dong, Korea. On that date the defensive positions of his company were suddenly attacked by a large enemy force. Sergeant Remillard immediately joined a machine gun crew in an outpost position. Under heavy fire from the advancing enemy, he aided in firing the machine gun, inflicting heavy casualties upon the enemy until a mechanical failure caused a stoppage of the gun. While the gunner stripped the weapon and made the necessary repairs, Sergeant Remillard stood upright and covered the gunner with his carbine fire. Undaunted by the concentrated fire of the enemy to which he was exposed, he held fast and by his accurate and deadly fire held off the enemy until the machine gun was once more in operating condition. During this action he killed at least five enemy. As a result of his courageous action he and two of his comrades were able to hold a strategic sector until his company launched a counterattack which succeeded in repelling the enemy assault. The gallantry displayed on this occasion by Sergeant Remillard reflects the highest great upon himself is in keeping with the fine traditions of the military service.
