The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Staff Sergeant Sabba A. Kaliff (ASN: 31233109), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 120th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 15 June 1944, in France. When his company was engaged in an attack on the enemy, Staff Sergeant Kaliff advanced alone on an enemy machine gun. With indomitable fighting spirit he killed three of the enemy, captured three prisoners and their machine gun, and later lost his life by enemy fire. Staff Sergeant Kaliff’s heroic actions, resulting in the loss of his life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Army.
