Major General Milton B. Halsey, Deputy GG, 6th Army, presents the Silver Star to Corporal Jesus Rodriguez, Infantry, Company 1, 35th Infantry, United States Army. On the night of 2 February 1951, a numerically superior hostile force launched a determined assault on friendly positions near Anyang-Ni, Korea. Despite the proximity of the onrushing foe, Corporal Rodriguez remained at his post on the right flank to deliver a heavy volume of effective counterfire. When his rifle jammed, he used it as a club against the encircling enemy until the attack had been repulsed. Corporal Rodriguez's exemplary courage, tenacity of purpose and unwavering devotion to duty were an inspiration to his fellow soldiers and reflect the highest credit on himself and the army forces. Entered the military service from California. |
