The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Sergeant First Class Jack E. McFadden (ASN: US-53004725), United States Army, for heroic achievement on 30 August 1951 in the vicinity of Worun-ni, Korea. On that date, as the 1st Battalion launched an attack, each company moved out over the treacherous terrain toward the enemy-held Hill 940. Due to the heavy volume of fire directed at the hostile positions, all of the friendly units simultaneously ran dangerously low on ammunition. Realizing the seriousness of their situation, Sergeant McFadden, volunteered to lead a carrying party to the friendly units, transporting vitally needed ammunition through deadly enemy sniper fire. While traveling over the hazardous terrain, Sergeant McFadden prevented a general panic among his men when several of them were wounded by hostile fire, and underwent great hardship and personal danger in guiding his party back to safety with the wounded men after successfully completing the mission. His dauntless courage and outstanding leadership aided materially in the success of the friendly unit in that engagement. The heroism in action and devotion to duty reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
