March 9, 1951 - Medal of Honor In Korea

Raymond Harvey's Leadership

Raymond Harvey epitomized courage and leadership. As a company commander in Korea, he led his men in a relentless assault on enemy fortifications, personally destroying four enemy positions—even after being shot in the chest. Refusing evacuation, he fought on until the hill was secure. His bravery earned him the Medal of Honor. Honor and remember him.

Before Korea, Harvey had already distinguished himself in World War II with the 79th Infantry Division, earning two Bronze Stars, two Silver Stars, two Purple Hearts, and the Distinguished Service Cross. He returned to the Army in 1948, serving with the 7th Infantry Division, continuing his legacy of valor.

After retiring in 1962, he dedicated himself to public service as Arizona’s Director of Indian Affairs before passing in 1982. His legacy of bravery and service lives on. Honor and remember him!
