Radow (ASN: 0-888438), United States Army, for gallantry in action near Changnyong, Korea, on 16 September 1950, while serving as Commanding Officer, Company M, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division. On this date Major Radow was in command of Company M, 23d Infantry Regiment, while that unit was participating in the general attack upon enemy positions along the Naktong River. Throughout the day, Major Radow voluntarily remained with the leading assault elements of his unit in order to direct fire of his supporting weapons with greater effect. When the radio operator was wounded, Major Radow remained in an exposed position, under intense enemy fire, and personally operated the radio until another operator was sent forward. His heroic and aggressive leadership throughout this action was a source of inspiration to all members of his company and contributed greatly to the success of his battalion in its offensive. Major Radow’s gallant conduct is in the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, the 2d Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
