The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Warrant Officer Armon J. Sealey (MCSN: 0-48629/214004), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Ordnance Officer of the First Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 10 December 1950. Badly shaken from concussion when a hostile grenade exploded in his truck following a small arms and mortar fire attack on the leading elements of his convoy, Warrant Officer Sealey braved the hostile barrage to man a .50 caliber machine gun and directed effective fire until the weapon jammed. Successfully clearing the stoppage, he continued to deliver accurate fire, forcing the enemy to withdraw from their positions near the leading vehicles of the convoy and along the road. After helping a wounded officer to a covered position, he insisted on returning to re-enter the engagement, but was ordered to submit to medical attention and evacuation. His bold initiative, skilled marksmanship and indomitable fighting spirit reflect great credit upon Warrant Officer Sealey and the United States Naval Service.
