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 Herman Brack (ASN: 20720606), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 35th Infantry Division, in action near ****, France, on 23 November 1944. During an attack against enemy positions, Sergeant Brack was wounded, and although he lost a great deal of blood and suffered great pain, he refused evacuation and continued in action to neutralize one enemy machine gun position. As his company consolidated its position he remained exposed to enemy fire to cover the movement. Sergeant Brack’s fortitude, tenacity of purpose and extreme devotion to duty reflect credit upon his character as a soldier.
