BRONZE STAR FOR VALOR:
First Lieutenant Salvador Jimenez Junior, 0954379, Medical Service Corps, Medical Company 65th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 4 February, 1951 in the vicinity of Chemchan, Korea, Company “I”, 65th Infantry, was attacking hill 561. Lieutenant Jimenez who was in charge of a litter bearing group, led them to the scene of the engagement. He unhesitatingly supervised and helped to remove the wounded and dead while the engaged company was still under heavy enemy small arms fire. When all available litters had been used for the wounded, he immediately directed his men to improvise litters, using those to evacuate the dead. Lieutenant Jimenez exposed himself to enemy small arms fire many times in order to remove the wounded to safety. The determination and disregard for personal safety displayed by Lieutenant Jimenez served as an inspiration to all and reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the military service from Puerto Rico.
