The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Private First Class John C. Bremer, (36833423), Infantry, United States Army. For gallantry in action at Luzon, Philippine Islands, on 11 February 1945. On the north bank of the Estero de Paco in Manila, a machine gun emplaced where it could fire on a Japanese occupied house and adjacent pillbox was knocked out. Private Bremer, an automatic rifleman, was called upon to occupy the position in the face of enemy machine gun and rifle fire. For two and a half hours he exposed himself repeatedly to spray the hostile forces with an effective volume of return fire.
