CSM J R GlazeMASTER SERGEANT J.R. Glaze, Ra18213079, Armored, United States Army, a member of Company A, 78th Heavy Tank Battalion, 24th Infantry Division, distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy on 10 July 1950, near Chochiwon, Korea. On 10 July 1950 Sergeant Glaze, Tank Commander of a light tank, engaged a much heavier enemy T34 Tank. Seeing that the 75 MM ammunition with which his tank was equipped had no effect on the heavier tank, he left his tank to procure a rocket launcher from friendly infantry. Having procured a rocket launcher he advanced to within 25 yards of the enemy tank and destroyed it. He then moved forward eighty yards under heavy enemy small arms fire and destroyed a second tank. During this action he was severely wounded. The extraordinary heroism displayed by Sergeant Glaze on this occasion reflects the highest credit on himself and the military service.

CSM Glaze joined the L.O.V. in 2002 as a life member and resides in Texas.
