The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Technician Fourth Grade Harry Senger (ASN: 15063355), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the Medical Detachment, 222d Infantry Regiment, 42d Infantry Division, in action on 3 April 1945 at Wurzburg, Germany. When the Rainbow Ranger platoon in which he was serving as aid man forced a crossing of the Main River, Sergeant Senger, unable to evacuate casualties across the river, established and operated a forward aid station for six hours. Although working under constant mortar, machine-gun and small arms fire, casualties were kept under cover, plasma and morphine administered, and splints applied. Improvising litters, the wounded were made comfortable as possible amid the rubble of ruined buildings. In addition to operating his aid station, Sergeant Senger continued his task as aid man with the attacking elements. Although he was mortally wounded while carrying out this heroic feat, his great courage, initiative, and resourcefulness saved over 30 lives.
