The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star Medal to Richard W. Rosebury, Jr. (0-1307753), First Lieutenant (Infantry), U.S. Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the Raider Platoon, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division. On 16 March 1945, at 1400 hours, First Lieutenant Rosebury and one of his men dashed 50 yards to capture an enemy machine gun and its crew of three. First Lieutenant Rosebury and his man then observed two enemy SP guns 400 yards away and directed tank fire that knocked out the guns and greatly aided the regiment’s advance through the Seigfried Line.
