The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant First Class Stanley A. Brown (ASN: RA-31391486), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Medical Detachment, 2d Infantry Division Artillery, in action against an armed enemy on 12 and 13 February 1951 in the vicinity of Saemal, Korea. During that period Sergeant Brown was a member of a Task Force which was attempting to withdraw after being cut off and surrounded by a large enemy force. Throughout the period, he constantly exposed himself to the intense enemy fire, with utter disregard for his personal safety, in order to treat and evacuate the wounded. He crossed fire swept areas, under direct observation of the enemy, on numerous occasions to rescue wounded men who were in positions exposed to enemy fire. His courageous devotion to his wounded comrades was a source of great inspiration to the men around him and was instrumental in saving many lives. The gallantry displayed by Sergeant Brown reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
