The President of the United States of America, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Raymond Albert Jensen (ASN: 0-971104), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving as Platoon Leader with Company K, 3d Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment (Infantry), 1st Cavalry Division. First Lieutenant Jensen distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces in the vicinity of Nago-ri, Korea, on 10 October 1951. On that date, a friendly force was in the fourth day of an attack against a well-entrenched hostile force. The repeated assaults against the enemy emplacement had seriously decimated Lieutenant Jensen’s platoon. Left with only ten men, he decided to lead them in a final attack. Charging up the hill, the friendly troops were immediately met by a devastating volume of small-arms and automatic-weapons fire. Constantly exposing himself in order to encourage his men, he urged them forward. Although painfully wounded in the leg, he located an enemy bunker and, standing in full view of the enemy, neutralized it with grenades. Upon receiving the order to withdraw, he again exposed himself in order to draw the hostile fire. This action enabled his men to reach cover. Wounded again by shrapnel, he steadfastly remained in his position, destroying another hostile emplacement with grenades. Weak from loss of blood, he collapsed on the slope but he summoned enough strength to shout to his men to withdraw without him. However, his courageous actions so inspired his men that they moved to his position and carried him down the hill to safety. The extraordinary heroism displayed by First Lieutenant Jensen on this occasion reflects the greatest credit on himself and is in keeping with the high traditions of the military service.
