SERGEANT GERMAN OYOLA, RA10404296, Infantry, Company "D", 65th Infantry,
3d Infantry Division, United States Army. On 26 April 1951, near Chuygo,
Korea, Sergeant OYOLA"S machine gun section was attached to and providing fire
support for the attacking elements of Company "A" when a fanatical enemy coun-
terattack necessitated a withdrawal to more tenable positions. Sergeant OYOLA,
placing his section in the new location, received notification that two of his
men had been wounded and were in the area recently vacated. Immediately he
advanced into the face of heavy hostile fire. Upon returning with one of the
stricken soldiers, he courageously re-entered the fire-swept area and carried
the other man to safety. The gallant and selfless concern for his comrades
displayed by Sergeant OYOLA reflect great credit upon himself and the military
service. Entered the military service from Puerto Rico.
