The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star (Army Award) to Corporal Roy L. Streetman (MCSN: 667796), United States Marine Corps, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving with Company D, Second Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Provisional Marine Brigade, near Taebong-ni, Korea, on 17 August 1950. During an attack against the enemy main line of resistance the platoon, of which Corporal Streetman was a member, came under intense enemy fire and during the fire fight which followed Corporal Streetman was seriously wounded. Upon being evacuated and despite three serious wounds, Corporal Streetman realizing the need for corpsmen in his platoon’s sector voluntarily organized and led a group of Corpsmen to the aid of his unit. His actions in guiding Corpsmen to his platoon materially aided in saving the lives of many Marines who were in need of medical aid. His initiative and courage were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
