    The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Georges Gerard, Belgian Civilian, for gallantry in action while serving as a member of Group NOLA of the Belgian Resistance Movement. Monsieur Gerard organized this group and led it after 1942. Although it numbered only a few hundred, it carried out successfully a large number of operations. Monsieur Gerard, at great personal risk, took part in these activities and his organizing ability and devotion to duty insured their full success.
