MASTER SERGEANT MANUEL ACEVEDO, JR., RA6674870, Infantry, Company "E", 65th
Infantry, 3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 1 February 1951, near
Suwon, Korea, Sergeant ACEVEDO led his platoon in an assault on Hill 297. In spite
of the heavy enemy machine gun and small arms fire being directed at him, he stormed
the enemy positions and neutralized them with hand grenades. Owing to the intrepid
action of Sergeant ACEVEDO the hill was taken and many of the enemy killed or cap-
tured. The gallantry and devotion to duty displayed by Sergeant ACVEDO reflect
great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the military service
from Puerto Rico.
