Clifton T. Speicher (March 25, 1931 – June 14, 1952) was a United States Army soldier in the Korean War who posthumously received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

On that day, during an attack against a hostile position near Minarigol, his squad came under intense small-arms, mortar, and machine gun fire.

Although already wounded he left the comparative safety of his position, and made a daring charge against the machine gun emplacement.

Within 10 yards of the goal, he was again wounded by small-arms fire but continued on, entered the bunker, killed 2 hostile soldiers with his rifle, a third with his bayonet, and silenced the machine gun.

Speicher's consummate sacrifice and unflinching devotion to duty reflect lasting glory upon himself and uphold the noble traditions of the military service.
