Thru: Commanding General, 24th Infantry Division
To: Commanding General, 1st Provisional Marine Brigade
1. It gives me great pleasure to commend you, your officers and men, for the part your organization played in the successful attack which began 17 August 50 against a determined enemy occupying a bridgehead east of the Naktong River in the vicinity of Kujin-San and ended only when the bridgehead had been eliminated with great loss of men and equipment to the enemy.
2. Through excellence in leadership and grit and determination in all ranks, your organization helped materially in preventing the enemy from penetrating our lines at a critical time. In so doing it has upheld the fine tradition of the Marines in a glorious manner and by close cooperation has proved unification of the services a success.
3. Please accept my sincere thanks and congratulations. I ask that you convey to your splendid command, the traditional “Well Done.”
