The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Warren E. Castleberry (MCSN: 1190604), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while attached to Weapons Company, First Battalion, Seventh Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), and serving as an Anti-tank Assault Squad Leader of an infantry company, in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 26 October 1952. Observing a group of wounded Marines who were under direct enemy machine gun fire during a hostile attack on the company position, Corporal Castleberry voluntarily led a three-man rescue team to the aid of the stricken man. Finding it impossible to evacuate the casualties because of the concentrated enemy opposition, he positioned himself in an exposed area to draw the enemy fire and delivered rifle fire on the enemy machine gun emplacements until the casualties had been evacuated. By his aggressive fighting spirit, courageous initiative and selfless efforts in behalf of others, Corporal Castleberry served to inspire all who observed him and was instrumental in saving the lives of many wounded Marines, thereby upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
