The SILVER STAR is POSTHUMOUSLY awarded to PRIVATE FIRST CLASS GERALD F BOYER, US5507640l, Infantry, United States Army, a member of Company M, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, who distinguished himself by gallantry in action on 27 August 1951 in the vicinity of Roam, Korea. On that date, as wave after wave of the numerically superior hostile forces were assaulting Company M’s defensive positions with fanatical determination on Hill 1100, Private Boyer placed his machinegun in an exposed and extremely dangerous position. Disregarding his personal safety he remained in this position for eight hours delivering heavy effective fire upon the oncoming enemy forces until he was mortally wounded by enemy’s automatic weapons fire. As a result of his fearless actions the enemy’s attack was broken up, causing them to retreat and suffer many casualties, and the defense positions on the strategic hill were retained. The intrepid gallantry in action and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Private Boyer on this occasion reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the military service from Meadow Grove, Nebraska. GO 189, 10 Apr 52
