The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Private First Class Primo Charles Carnabuci (ASN: RA-11167074), 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, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division. Private First Class Carnabuci distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces near Pohang-dong, Korea, on 2 September 1950. When Company K launched an attack against enemy positions Private First Class Carnabuci, personally led his squad into the face of heavy automatic-weapons and small-arms fire, until he was wounded in the face and neck by fragments of a bursting enemy grenade. He personally killed three enemy soldiers and wounded several more with accurate rifle fire during the attack. While receiving medial aid, he observed his squad pinned down by heavy, accurate fire from an enemy machine-gun. Private Carnabuci, although weak from loss of blood, thrust away the aid man, picked up his rifle, and with utter disregard for his own safety, advanced into the fire of the enemy machine-gun with blood steaming down his face. The ferocity of his attack and the accurate fire from his rifle destroyed the enemy machine-gun crew and so unnerved the enemy troops near the machine-gun that they fled from the area. The extraordinary heroism displayed by Private First Class Carnabuci on this occasion reflects the greatest credit on himself and is in keeping with the high traditions of the military service.
