Jerome Aubrey Sudut [1] (October 20, 1930 – September 12, 1951) was a soldier in the United States Army during the Korean War.

Armed with submachinegun, pistol, and grenades, 2d Lt. Sudut charged the emplacement alone through vicious hostile fire, killing 3 of the occupants and dispersing the remainder.

Though mortally wounded and his ammunition exhausted, he jumped into the emplacement and killed the remaining enemy soldier with his trench knife.

His single-handed assaults so inspired his comrades that they continued the attack and drove the enemy from the hill, securing the objective.

2d Lt. Sudut's consummate fighting spirit, outstanding leadership, and gallant self-sacrifice are in keeping with the finest traditions of the infantry and the U.S.
