For heroic achievement while serving as a Litter Bearer of HQ Company, 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division,
in action against enemy Japanese forces on Saipan, Marianas Islands, from 25 to 28 June 1944.

Participating in the rescue of wounded men, Sergeant Mizik unhesitatingly exposed himself on numerous occasions to both our own and enemy fire and recovered casualties who were in front of friendly lines and, by his fearless action, was instrumental in saving the lives of many men who otherwise might have died.

His self-sacrificing efforts on behalf of others and his gallantry under fire reflect the highest credit upon Sergeant Mizik and the United States Naval Service.

Sergeant Mizik is authorized to wear the Combat “V”.

George Mizik was born in Belle Valley, Ohio and entered the service from Cincinnati Ohio.
