SILVER STAR CITATION: Seatvet, Lloyd D.
[Contributed by Chuck Cummins #47514473]
First Lieutenant Lloyd D. Seatvet, 02028518, Infantry, United States Army, 160th Infantry Regiment, distinguished himself by gallantry in action near Sat'ae-ri Korea on 3 December 1952. Lieutenant Seatvet led a ten man patrol into enemy territory charged with the mission of contacting and capturing the enemy. After the patrol had advanced 300 yards, it was attacked by a numerically superior enemy force. In the ensuing fire fight, one of the members of Lieutenant Seatvet's patrol was seriously wounded. Lieutenant Seatvet immediately deployed the remainder of the patrol, and then exposing himself to the enemy fire courageously went to the wounded man to ascertain the extent of his injuries. Finding the man seriously wounded, Lieutenant Seatvet supervised the evacuation of the man to a more protected position. In the operation Lieutenant Seatvet was wounded in the head and leg by enemy fire. When a runner, who was sent to the main line of resistance to guide a support unit to the scene of the action was wounded, Lieutenant Seatvet, completely disregarding his painful wounds, and under heavy artillery and mortar fire, returned to the friendly lines to guide the support unit to the patrols position Lieutenant Seatvet's superior actions, outstanding qualities of leadership, and inspiring gallantry were instrumental in saving many lives and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army. Entered the Federal service from Ohio.
