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 Private First Class George Zimmerman (ASN: 35001492), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company C, 192d Tank Battalion, in action on 4 February 1942, at Agalomma Point, Bataan. Although suffering from battle fatigue and burns on his hands and face, he volunteered to drive alongside a disabled tank and try to rescue the trapped crew. After several attempts, he, with the aid of another tank, drove off the enemy, reached the isolated vehicle and rescued its crew. Private Zimmerman’s determination and courage in this action saved the lives of his comrades and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
