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 First Class Angel Luis Ocasio (Ocasio-Nazario) (ASN: RA-10403238), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company F, 2d Battalion, 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On 23 April 1951, in the vicinity of Ognyo-bong, Korea, Company F was subjected to a fanatical attack by a large hostile force. Noticing that one of his comrades had been seriously wounded, Sergeant Ocasio bravely went to his assistance and, completely oblivious of the heavy volume of fire sweeping the area, carried him to a place of safety. During the fierce firefight, Sergeant Ocasio moved from position to position, encouraging his men and directing their fire and movements. While returning to the command post to procure ammunition to replenish the rapidly diminishing supply, he was mortally wounded by fragments from an exploding shell. Sergeant Ocasio’s selfless gallantry reflects great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the esteemed traditions of the military service.
