The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Sergeant John Lennox (ASN: RA-12339195), United States Army, for heroic achievement as a member of Battery A, 105th Field Artillery Battalion, 3d Infantry Division. On 22 March 1951, Sergeant Lennox was a member of an artillery forward observer team which was supporting a Belgian platoon in the defense of Hill 155 near Singongne, Korea. When the enemy launched a fierce surprise attack against the hill positions, Sergeant Lennox covered the forward observer’s movements to the radio position. Although his rifle jammed, he obtained another and continued his covering fire until it also failed to operate. Running from his position to that of a wounded Belgian soldier, Sergeant Lennox armed himself with the Belgian’s weapon and several hand grenades and dashed to the crest of the hill, shouting encouragement to the friendly troops while delivering intense fire upon the enemy. During the ensuing action, he unhesitatingly went to the aid of a stricken comrade, rendering first aid and alleviating the suffering of the fallen soldier. Sergeant Lennox’s heroic actions reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
