The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to Master Sergeant Clarence J. Fisher (ASN: RA-31521207), United States Army, for heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy of the United States as a member of the Medical Company, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action on 28 July 1953, in the vicinity of Ansan, North Korea. At approximately 1555 hours on that date, an ammunition dump exploded, inflicting many casualties. Sergeant Fisher, working in an Aid Station not far from the dump immediately rushed to the area. Quickly appraising the situation and realizing the dire need for medical attention, he began administering first aid to the seriously wounded men. Although completely exposed to the still burning and exploding shells, he worked unceasingly for two hours giving aid and preparing for the evacuation of the critically wounded. By his prompt and courageous actions in this emergency, Sergeant Fisher quickened the evacuation of the wounded and injured, thus keeping the death rate at a minimum. The inspirational conduct and heroic actions displayed by Sergeant Fisher reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
