The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Cayetano Bueno (ASN: RA-17269520), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving with Company G, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, in action against the enemy on 1 November 1950 near Unsan, Korea. During the night, the enemy attacked Company G with such overwhelming numbers that the company was forced to withdraw to secondary positions. Corporal Bueno mounted the turret of a friendly tank which was supporting Company G and directed a deadly accurate stream of fire on the enemy, inflicting many casualties and delaying the enemy advance. When he had expended his ammunition, he ran to another tank nearby and retrieved the .50 caliber ammunition from its machine gun, which had been disabled. Returning to his original position, he reloaded the gun and commenced firing again on the enemy, inflicting many more casualties. He continued to pour fire on the enemy until a direct hit on his machine gun rendered it useless. Then he opened up with his M-1 rifle and stayed with the tank until it withdraw. During this entire action, Corporal Bueno was constantly exposed to intense enemy fire of all kinds, but he fearlessly remained at his position, inflicting many casualties upon the enemy and providing invaluable rear guard action for his withdrawing company and tank. This example of gallantry reflects great credit on Corporal Bueno and the military service.
