The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Frank Enick, Jr. (MCSN: 566238), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a Runner in Company I, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea from 6 November to 10 December 1950. Consistently alert and aggressive throughout this period of intensive combat, Private First Class Enick fearlessly risked his life while making repeated trips through intense enemy fire and bitter sub-zero temperatures to carry vital messages to the company command post. With his company engaged in action with the enemy the night of 27 November, he boldly advanced over difficult terrain swept by heavy small arms and automatic weapons fire and, wading waist-deep through a stream to carry out his mission, made three successful trips to the battalion command post to deliver vitally needed signal supplies and information which proved of inestimable value to his company in its operations against the aggressors. By his daring initiative, cool courage in the face of grave peril and staunch devotion to duty, Private First Class Enick served as an inspiration to all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
