Sergeant Porter was a member of Company G, 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. On September 7, 1952, while manning an outpost near Mundung-ri, North Korea, two enemy platoons attacked his outpost killing two of his three man crew. He remained and fought valiantly, killing 15 enemy soldiers and dispersing the rest. As the enemy made a second attack, he jumped from his position with bayonet fixed, fought the enemy hand to hand killing 6 and routed the rest. When he returned to his position, he was killed by enemy artillery fire. |
