The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Richard G. Brady (ASN: RA-13268743), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company G, 2d Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. During a company attack near Namji, Korea, on 11 August 1950, the first platoon was stopped by intense fire from a hostile strongpoint. Corporal Brady quickly deployed his platoon, informed each member of his plan and on his signal led them in an assault on the enemy position. Having moved stealthily toward the positions, they then rushed on, screaming and firing their weapons. They killed most of the enemy captured many weapons and completely eliminated the obstacle to the platoon advance. Corporal Brady’s distinguished leadership, outstanding gallantry and notable tactical skill reflect great credit upon himself and uphold the highest traditions of the United States Army.
