This action resulted in the recovery of the vehicle and its valuable equipment. Private Greenfeld’s gallant actions and selfless devotion to duty, without regard for his own safety, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
