The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Edward G. Dennis (MCSN: 1023840), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a member of the Supply Company, First Service Battalion, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces at Hagaru-ri, Korea, on the night of 28 – 29 November 1950. Although suffering from pain and loss of blood from serious wounds sustained when the enemy overran the hill on which his outpost was located, Private First Class Dennis carried a more severely wounded comrade down precipitous slopes, through the hostile encirclement and into the friendly defensive perimeter. By his courageous actions, he was responsible for obtaining medical attention for the casualty more quickly than would otherwise have been possible and thereby undoubtedly saved the life of his comrade. His unselfishness in risking his life to save another reflects great credit upon Private First Class Dennis and the United States Naval Service.
