' Thundar. Jan. 10, 1848 HERALD AND NEWS FOUBTEKIf
A third holder of the coveted
Congressional Medal of Honor,
the highest military award grant
ed by the government of the
United States, reported to the
Marino Barracks December 26.
Ho is 2nd Lt. Arthur S.' Jack,
ton, 21-year-old Portland, Ore.,
marine, who is now at the post
for aeparation, Lt. Jackson's ci
tation reads:
"For conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity at tha risk of
his Ufa above and beyond the
call of duty, while serving
with the battalion of a marine
division in action against Jap
anese forces on the island of
Peleliu, September 18. 1944.
Boldly faking the initiative
when his platoon's left-flank
advance was held up by the
fire of Japanese troops con
cealed in strongly fortified po
sitions, PFC Jackson unhesi
tatingly proceeded forward of
our lines, and courageously de
fying the heavy barrages,
charged a large pill-box hous
ing approximately 35 enemy
soldiers. Pouring his auto
matic fire into the opening of
the fixed installations to trap
tha occupying troops, he
hurled white phosphorus gren
ades and explosive .charges
brought up by a fellow ma
rine, demolishing the pill-box
and killing all of the enemy.
Advancing alone under the
continuous fire from other
hostile emplacements, he em
ployed similar means to smash
two smaller positions in tha
immediate vicinity.
"Determined to crush tha
entire pocket of resistance al
though harassed on all sides
by the shattering blasts of
Japanese weapons and covered
only by small rifle parties, he
stormed one gun position after
another, dealing death and de
struction to the savagely fight
ing enemy in his inexorable
drive against the remaining
defenses and succeeded in wip
ing out a total of 12 pill
boxes and 50 Japanese sol
diers. Stout-hearted and in
domitable despite the terrific
.odds, PFC Jackson resolutely
maintained control of the
platoon's left-flank movement
throughout this valiant one
man assault and. by his cool
decision and relentless fight
ing spirit during a critical sit
uation contributed essentially
to the complete annihilation of
the enemy in the southern sec
tor of the island. His gallant
initiative and heroic conduct in
the face of extreme peril re
flect the highest credit upon
PFC Jackson and the United
States naval service."'
Young Jackson was commis
sioned a second lieutenant on
August 7, 1945, having come up
from the ranks. He received the
Congressional Medal of Honor
On October 5, 1945.
Other wearers of the medal to
be stationed at the Marine Bar
racks were Capt. Mitchell Paige,
who reported here from the
South Pacific In October, 1944,
and Major Joe Foss, who ar
rived in Klamath Falls in Aug
ust, 1944.
Jackson's home address in
Portland is 4429 N. E. 80th
street His wife is here with
him. '
