The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class Norman Peter Frazzini (MCSN: 1156738), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a Rifleman in Company C, First Battalion, Seventh Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 12 September 1951. Joining a group of volunteers on a mission to evacuate casualties during patrol activities in a strongly fortified enemy-held sector, Private First Class Frazzini bravely made his way through a hail of fire from a well-camouflaged machine gun to assist a critically wounded Marine. Crawling into a ditch filled with enemy mines, he administered first aid to the stricken men and, although severely wounded in the arm by the hostile machine gun fire, continued to comfort his comrade until further assistance arrived on the scene. Refusing medical aid for himself, he continued to direct the evacuation of other casualties until he was hit a second time by enemy fire and mortally wounded. By his marked courage, fortitude and selfless efforts in behalf of others, Private First Class Frazzini upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.
