IWO JIMA Marine on SILVER STAR Combat ACTION | Thiele Fred Harvey
On February 19, 1945, Thiele Fred Harvey landed on Red Beach with the 26th Marines on Iwo Jima. He was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery during a 3-man patrol. His citation reads: ’’When his three-man patrol which was sent out to establish contact with the adjoining company was ambushed by heavy fire from an enemy machine gun and one of the men was seriously wounded, PFC Harvey dragged the fallen Marine under heavy fire to the shelter of a nearby hole. Remaining with the wounded man while his companion went for aid, he held off the hostile forces with his rifle and hand grenades until the arrival of the rescue party. Then, exposing himself to enemy fire and directing accurate heavy fire on the Japanese position, he successfully covered the evacuation of the casualty. By his initiative, courage and unselfish devotion to duty, he undoubtedly saved the life of his comrade and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service’’ Watch as he tells his remarkable story of service and sacrifice and SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel to watch more stories from our nation's heroes!
