The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Staff Sergeant [then Sergeant] Thomas D. Bramlett, United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 91st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 26 June 1944, near Montieri, Italy. The platoon of which Staff Sergeant Bramlett was a member was pinned down by heavy enemy machine gun and mortar fire and by the turret guns of a tank 500 yards away. The platoon was ordered to withdraw to cover, but Staff Sergeant Bramlett, without regard for his personal safety, contacted each member of his squad to see that they withdrew safely. While crawling to assist an injured man, Staff Sergeant Bramlett was hit on the upper arm by machine gun fire. Disregarding his wound, Staff Sergeant Bramlett crawled 50 yards further to the injured man whom e he dragged to safety and then assisted in bringing another injured man to cover. Shells fell 20 yards from Staff Sergeant Bramlett but he refused to go to the aid station until he had reorganized his squad and accounted for each of his men. Staff Sergeant Bramlett, by his high courage and devotion to duty brings great credit on himself and the Army of the United States.
