The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Corporal Donald George Rothlauf (ASN: RA-17264716), United States Army, for heroic achievement while serving with Company K, 3d Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division in Korea. On 3 September 1950 near Chuam, Korea when his company was attacked several times by an overwhelming number of enemy forces, Corporal Rothlauf repeatedly braved the intense enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire to distribute ammunition. Moving from foxhole to foxhole under the constant enemy barrage, he redistributed the dwindling supply of ammunition. When the supply of rifle ammunition was exhausted, he removed the cartridges from machine gun belts and loaded rifle clips to supply the riflemen. Corporal Rothlauf’s daring and valorous actions reflect great credit upon himself and his organization.
