HYATT, BRUCE M.
Citation:
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Bruce M. Hyatt, Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Navy (Reserve), for gallantry and intrepidity in action as Commander Mine Division THIRTY-TWO and in tactical command of that division during minesweeping operations conducted in Wonsan Harbor preliminary to occupation of Wonsan, Korea by United Nations forces. During the period 10 to 12 October 1950. The ships of his division penetrated to a depth of 19 miles from the outer mine defenses through heavily mined waters until well within range of enemy shore batteries. On 12 October he penetrated two lines of mines barring the entrance to the outer harbor and carried out the sweeping plans in the face of enemy gunfire until his flagship was mine. His leadership and professional competence contributed greatly to the efficient operation of the ships of his division and his loyalty and steadfast devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U. S. Naval Service.
