The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Jack B. Morrison (ASN: 19048587), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 6th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in the Cabaruan Hills, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on 30 January 1945. An Infantry company was given the mission of attacking and securing a hill which was steep and the sides of which were covered with thick patches of bamboo. After having reached the crest of the hill, the company was pinned down by withering enemy automatic weapons from dug-in hilltop positions. Private First Class Morrison, a flame thrower operator and member of a battalion assault team, moved into exposed positions and unhesitatingly, directed systematic flame thrower fire into the enemy positions. As a result of his aggressive support of the assault team, six strong points were neutralized and the company was able to advance and complete the mission. The gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty demonstrated by Private First Class Morrison, 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.
