The President of the United States of America, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Private Ichiro Roy Miyasaki (ASN: US-56061999), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving with Company K, 3d Battalion, 180th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division. Private Miyasaki distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces at Tumyong-dong, Korea, on 12 June 1952. While accompanying his platoon on a mission to clear the area between Hills 183 and 191, an automatic rifleman was wounded early in the action and Private Miyasaki immediately secured the automatic weapon and continued forward with the unit through heavy mortar, artillery, and automatic-weapons fore. He was wounded during this action, but refused evacuation or emergency treatment and pushed rapidly ahead, killing an estimated five of the enemy. The hostile troops fell back under the fury of the attack until they reached a small knoll defended from a bunker by six enemy soldiers armed with automatic weapons and grenades. The platoon’s advance was halted here until Private Miyasaki rushed the strongpoint, killing at least four of the defending foe. The platoon then occupied the positions the enemy retreated. Hostile units regrouped and launched a determined counterattack. Despite wounds he had received, Private Miyasaki gallantly withstood repeated assaults on his position, repulsing the foe with heavy losses. During this action, he lost his life. Private Miyasaki’s heroic actions, outstanding courage, and tenacious devotion to duty reflect the greatest credit on himself and uphold the finest traditions of the military service.
