The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Ray Miller (MCSN: 1088067), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a Fire Team Leader in Company E, Second Battalion, Fifth Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 18 September 1950. Wounded in the leg during an early morning enemy counterattack, Corporal Miller refused medical treatment and, despite loss of blood and excruciating pain, continued to lead and direct his fire team until it returned to friendly lines where he submitted to medical treatment. By his courage, initiative and aggressive fighting spirit, Corporal Miller aided materially in completely routing the enemy, thereby upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
