David Charles Rosenbluth

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to David Charles Rosenbluth (32828105), Private First Class, U.S. Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving while serving with Company A, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 17 March 1945 in France. As a rifle platoon was dismounting from a truck, an enemy self-propelled gun opened fire. One shell landed in the midst of the group, killing several men and wounding a number of others. Private First Class Rosenbluth quickly rallied the remaining men and led them to a covered location. Then while shells continued to burst in the area, he returned to the casualties, applied expert first aid to the most seriously wounded and, with the help of others, carried them to a place of safety. By his gallant act, with utter disregard for his own life, Private First Class Rosenbluth assisted in saving the lives of many of his comrades.
