The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Technical Sergeant Frank B. Bujnowski (ASN: 32252715), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Company A, 1st Battalion, 398th Infantry Regiment, 100th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces on 8 April 1945, in the vicinity of Odheim, Germany. After gaining the crest of a strategically important hill, Sergeant Bujnowski’s platoon met severe enemy fire and was unable to advance. Determined to push forward, Sergeant Bujnowski moved to the front of his platoon, defying enemy fire, and gave the order to attack. Firing his submachine gun, he destroyed one hostile machine gun nest. He killed two more Germans and, when his ammunition was exhausted, continued to fight with a wounded man’s rifle. While charging another enemy emplacement, he was hit by a machine gun burst but continued moving forward until he was hit again and instantly killed. His daring, inspiring leadership and audacious action broke the back of the enemy resistance in the area. Technical Sergeant Bujnowski’s extraordinary heroism, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty at the cost of his life, exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, the 100th Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
