Robert S. Feinburg

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Robert S. Feinburg (0-393785), First Lieutenant (Field Artillery), U.S. Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Headquarters Battery, *** Field Artillery Battalion, 34th Infantry Division, on ** September 1943, in the vicinity of *****, Italy. Lieutenant Feinburg unhesitatingly flew a cub plane from a constructed flight deck of an L.S.T., through small arms fire and through the trajectory of enemy and friendly artillery and landed on a road at *****, Italy, ahead of the battery position. From this advanced point he carried out a reconnaissance flight over Mountain ***** and into enemy territory, gaining valuable information for higher headquarters. Lieutenant Feinburg’s courage and exemplary performance of duty was an inspiration to the officers and men of his Battalion and a credit to the Armed Forces of the United States.
