Private First Class Olsen displayed outstanding courage and heroism as, without regard for his own
personal safety, he dashed across fifty yards of fire-swept terrain to go to the aid of two wounded
comrades who were lying exposed to enemy fire. After administering first aid and getting the men
to cover, he maintained his forward position and successfully neutralized the fire from two enemy
pillboxes with his automatic rifle while his platoon reorganized and came to his aid. Private First
Class Olsen's heroic action resulted in saving the lives of two men and made it possible for his
platoon to successfully drive the enemy from the forward slope of the ridge. On April 28, 1945.
During the battle for Sawtooth Ridge, Private First Class Olsen found himself, on one occasion,
far in advance and cut off from his platoon. Instead of seeking cover and trying to withdraw,
he put his automatic rifle into action and in thirty minutes, destroyed two knee mortars, a light
machine gun and killed thirteen of the enemy. This heroic and courageous action enabled his squad
to join him and inflict heavy casualties on the enemy while the company brought support ing weapons
to bear on the enemy positions. On May 20, 1945 he died in Okinawa
