World War I - Silver Star - Army

The Silver Star Medal is the United States' third-highest award exclusively for combat valor and ranks fifth in the precedence of military awards behind the Medal of Honor, the Crosses (Distinguished Service Cross/Navy Cross/Air Force Cross), the Defense Distinguished Service Medal (awarded by DOD), and the Distinguished Service Medals of the various branches of service. It is the highest award for combat valor that is not unique to any specific branch; it has been bestowed by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines. It may be given by any one of the individual services to not only their own members, but to members of other branches of service, foreign allies, and even to civilians for "gallantry in action" in support of combat missions of the United States military.

During this period, he was a runner between his Company and Battalion Headquarters. Though completely without food during this period, he cheerfully and courageously performed his duties as runner. During a heavy attack by the enemy on 3 October 1918, he carried messages from his Company Commander to Battalion Headquarters under heavy fire from machine guns and trench mortars, and succeeded in delivering his message and in guiding supporting troops to the left flank which was then being subjected to heavy pressure by the enemy. On succeeding days of the siege, this soldier continued to perform his duties over exposed places and in full view of the enemy and always under heavy machine gun fire which raked the position on the least exposure. These duties he performed in absolute disregard for his personal safety.
