 GENERAL ORDERS # 286 - 16 July 1951

CORPORAL ANTONIO PIZARRO MOJICA, ER30428931, Infantry, Company "A", 65th
Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 11 April 1951, near
Yonggan-myon, Korea, Corporal PIZARRO MOJICA accompanied a patrol into hostile
territory to determine enemy dispositions and movement. As the patrol was
returning to friendly lines it was subjected to an intense mortar barrage.
Noticing a wounded comrade lying in an exposed area, Corporal PIZARRO MOJICA
ran to his assistance and, after administering first aid, proceeded to carry
the soldier to a protected position. While trying to cross a dike, he was shot
in the back by an enemy sniper. Completely ignoring the painful wound, Corporal
PIZARRO MOJICA courageously dragged the stricken infantryman over the dike to
safety. The selfless gallantry displayed by Corporal PIZARRO MOJICA reflects
the highest credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the military
service from Puerto Rico.
