From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Monday, December 3, 1951, p. 5:
First Lt. Carl M. Hagman has been awarded the Silver Star posthumously for gallantry in action in Korea, his parents, Major and Mrs. Carl O. Hagman of 2937 South Hills Ave., have been informed.
Lieutenant Hagman, a former TCU and Arlington State College football player, was killed in action May 17 after a Chinese Communist breakthrough on the central Korean front wiped out the United Nations line in various sectors.
With the Silver Star has come the Purple Heart, also awarded posthumously.
Official description of the action has been meager but his parents learned some details from the letter of a friend who was also in action near Lieutenant Hagman's position.
This friend, whose name was not disclosed, was one of the last men to see Hagman alive.
Hagman had run out of ammunition firing at the Communist attackers and turned to his sergeant for a new supply. A moment later, Hagman took the sergeant's gun and told him to withdraw and save his own life. The Reds attacked again and overran the position.
