The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Alick F. C. Greene, Jr. (ASN: 0-537597), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 35th Infantry Division, in action in the vicinity of ****, Germany, on 9 April 1945. Sensing an enemy attack when the forward observer’s radio became unserviceable, Lieutenant Greene exposed himself to heavy enemy artillery fire to check his men’s defensive positions and to re-establish, from a roof-top, radio contact with supporting artillery. Simultaneous leadership of his company’s activities and expert direction of artillery concentrations from his exposed position resulted in complete rout of the enemy. Lieutenant Greene’s aggressiveness, leadership and zealous devotion to duty are in accord with the military traditions of the United States.
