Citation... Cpl. Red Cloud, Company E, distinguished himself by
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of
duty in action against the enemy. From his position on the point of
a ridge immediately in front of the company command post he was the
first to detect the approach of the Chinese Communist forces and
give the alarm as the enemy charged from a brush-covered area less
than 100 feet from him. Springing up he delivered devastating
pointblank automatic rifle fire into the advancing enemy.
