CORPORAL DOMINGO MIRANDA ROSADO, RA20022645, Infantry, Company "M", 65th
Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 16 December 1950, near
Sansong-ni, Korea, a large enemy force, under cover of intense fire, succeeded
in penetrating positions defended by the machine gun platoon of Company "M",
65th Infantry. Securing a light machine gun, Corporal MIRANDA ROSADO,
accompanied by the platoon sergeant and an aid man, left the platoon command
post and attempted to go forward to the machine gun positions but, in the
darkness and confusion, the platoon sergeant was wounded. Firing his machine
gun from the hip, Corpral MIRANDA ROSADO successfully diverted the attention
of the enemy, which enabled the aid man to rush forward and render medical
assistance to the stricken soldier. Despite the fact that he was wounded by
grenade fragments, Corporal MIRANDA ROSADO chose to remain in his exposed
position and alone held off the enemy until the wounded man was evacuated.
The outstanding gallantry and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Corporal
MIRANDA ROSADO reflect great credit upon himself and exemplify the high traditions
of the military service. Entered the military service from Puerto Rico.
