The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star to Staff Sergeant [then Sergeant] Morin Bradburn (ASN: 55152766), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company A, 756th Tank Battalion, 3d Infantry Division. At about 1200 hours on 17 April 1945, in the vicinity of Routles, Germany, Staff Sergeant Bradburn was blocking while the infantry was assembling to continue the advance. He was taken under fire by an 88 and although narrowly missed by the first round, he did not seek cover but stood fast, engaging the gun in a blazing duel during which the buildings beside and behind him were practically shot away. Displaying outstanding courage, and skill in the face of observed fire that narrowly missed his exposed tank on all sides, he out shot and silenced the gun. His coolness and presence of mind during the furious action enabled him to destroy a major obstacle to the advance of our forces. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
