The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant Willie L. Weaver (ASN: 34276469), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 105th Medical Battalion, 30th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 7 August 1944, in France. When a battalion of friendly infantry troops had been isolated in enemy territory, Sergeant Waver volunteered to infiltrated German lines in order that badly needed plasma could reach them. Without knowledge of German positions as to what definite route to take, Sergeant Weaver, with the aid of an officer, drove an ambulance over a hazardous route during partial black-out in his successful effort to bring medical aid to his wounded comrades. Upon completion of the mission, and finding that they could be of no further assistance to the troops, they returned unescorted to their company area. The courageous and unselfish devotion to duty of Sergeant Weaver to voluntarily subject himself to such hazards reflect great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Armed Forces.
