The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Private First Class Tim M. Beach, Jr. (ASN: RA-18281236), United States Army, for heroic achievement while serving with Company K, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, on 30 July 1951 in the vicinity of Taeusan, Korea. On that date during an attack on well fortified enemy positions, the company met heavy enemy small arms, automatic weapons, grenade and mortar fire. When the radio operator became wounded during the action, Corporal Beach operated the radio and established and maintained contact with the company throughout the attack. Upon reaching the crest of the hill, the platoon leader was wounded by enemy fire. Corporal Beach, with complete disregard for his personal safety, went to the wounded man’s aid and carried him to a position of safety. He then returned as platoon sergeant and encouraged the men, by his daring leadership, to continue in the attack. The heroism in action displayed by Corporal Beach reflects great credit upon himself and the military service
