The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain Varge G. Frisbie (MCSN: 0-32877), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Commanding Officer of Company G, Third Battalion, First Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 6 June 1951. Assigned the mission of seizing a hill defended by a large enemy force in well-constructed emplacements and bunkers, Captain Frisbie repeatedly moved about the area in the face of devastating hostile automatic weapons and small arms fire to direct and control the attack and to supervise the use of supporting arms. When a sudden enemy counterattack on one flank threatened the attack and the entire battalion line, he fearlessly exposed himself to the heavy fire to shout words of encouragement to his men on the endangered flank, inspiring them to contain the attack and repulse the enemy. By his outstanding leadership, aggressive fighting spirit and marked courage, Captain Frisbie contributed directly to the successful seizure of the company objective and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
