The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Hospital Corpsman First Class Warren George LeGarie (NSN: 2045377), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as a Corpsman with a Marine Artillery Battalion of the FIRST Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea, on 7 December 1950. When his battery was subjected to heavy enemy mortar, grenade and automatic-weapons fire, Corpsman LeGarie repeatedly exposed himself to the hostile fire to render first aid to wounded Marines who were still in unprotected positions. Although seriously wounded himself, he refused medical aid and continued to treat and evacuate other casualties. By his courageous actions in saving others at the risk of his own life, Corpsman LeGarie served to inspire all who observed him. His fortitude, daring initiative and selfless devotion to duty throughout were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
