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 Technician Fourth Grade Ameth Anderson (ASN: 39676544), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Company G, 2d Battalion, 67th Armored Regiment, 2d Armored Division, in action against enemy forces near Vockrath, Germany, on 1 and 2 March 1945. When his tank was knocked out by enemy fire, Technician Fourth Grade Anderson continued to fire his 75 millimeter tank gun at the enemy throughout the day. The next morning upon learning that enemy tanks were sill in the area, he went forward alone and manned a 75 millimeter gun on another disabled tank. When the Air Corps came over, he marked the enemy positions with smoke. His skill and courage accounted for three enemy tanks and one pillbox destroyed. Technician Fourth Grade Anderson’s extraordinary heroism, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty, exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
