✦ DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS ✦
Dale Carlson
First Lieutenant · Infantry · Class 158 (1943)
First Lieutenant Dale Willard Carlson IN 158-1943 was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for actions near Pai-ri, Korea on 27 August 1951 while serving as a platoon leader in Company H, 3d Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division. Without regard for his personal safety, he rushed to an exposed position and opened fire on the enemy, who retaliated with a heavy volume of small-arms fire. Painfully wounded, Lieutenant Carlson realized that he would be a hindrance to his men and so he ordered them to continue their withdrawal while he remained to provide covering fire. Although greatly weakened by his serious wounds, Lieutenant Carlson, displaying courageous tenacity, crawled over a wide expanse of open terrain to the friendly lines where he received medical treatment before being evacuated.
