The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Sergeant Carlos Bonet-Morales (ASN: ER-30423990), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of the Medical Company, 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On 3 June 1951, near Songbong-ni, Korea, while attacking well-defended enemy emplacements on Hill 466, Company C sustained several casualties. Sergeant Bonet-Morales, a medical aidman attached to Company C, 1st Battalion, unhesitatingly braved an intense barrage of hostile fire to render valuable medical assistance to his stricken comrades. After evacuating two infantrymen to a covered position, he again voluntarily exposed himself to administer life-saving plasma to a severely wounded soldier and, while thus engaged, was mortally wounded by shell fragments. Sergeant Bonet-Morales’ gallantry, fearlessness, and genuine concern for the welfare of his fellow soldiers reflects the highest credit upon himself and the military service.
