Silver Star Citation
Donald Jerome Frazelle
Date of birth: October 22, 1946
Date of death: DOW: March 21, 1971
Place of Birth: Colorado, Denver
Home of record: Raleigh North Carolina
Status: KIA
AWARDS AND CITATIONS
Silver Star
Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Donald Jerome Frazelle, United States Army, for gallantry in action against an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. First Lieutenant Frazelle distinguished himself by intrepid actions on 10 March 1971 while serving as a Platoon Leader with Company A, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 23d Infantry Division. On that date, the company was conducting combat operations when it suddenly came under intense small arms fire from an unknown size enemy force. Reacting immediately to the urgency of the situation, Lieutenant Frazelle began directing his men into defensive positions when he was critically wounded by the hostile fire. Despite the pain of his injury, he unhesitatingly refused medical evacuation and began directing artillery fire against the enemy emplacements. With complete disregard for his personal safety, he continued to encourage his fellow soldiers and assisted helicopter gunships in pin-pointing the hostile targets. Maneuvering under the most adverse conditions, he maintained his fire against the enemy until his element was relieved and he was evacuated from the area. Through his timely and courageous actions, he contributed greatly in preventing casualties among his comrades and served as an inspiration to his entire company. First Lieutenant Frazelle's personal heroism, professional competence, and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 23d Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
