Chick Serio's Memoirs
Sergeant Charles A. Serio received the silver star for valor in the closing battle of Iwo Jima. He commandeered a jeep and drove through enemy fire to the ammo dump on the beach, shooting four enemy soldiers along the way. In desperation, he leveled his rifle at their heads and yelled, men are dying while we're talking. The major and sergeant backed down and Chick's men loaded the jeep with ammunition.
