The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Sol Goldstein (ASN: 42146770), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company F, 2d Battalion, 232d Infantry Regiment, 42d Infantry Division, in action on 19 April 1945, near Furth, Germany. During the advance of our forces on Furth, an enemy Panzerfaust knocked out one of our tank destroyers, killing three men and seriously wounding six in and around the tank. Under an intense hail of enemy machine gun and small arms fire, Private Goldstein ran to the aid of the men. After treating the wounded and helping them to safety, he advanced through the heavy fire to a nearby patch of woods from which the Panzerfaust had been fired. With his rifle he killed the Panzerfaust man and six accompanying riflemen. Private Goldstein’s indomitable courage in the face of superior odds was in keeping with the highest traditions of the Armed Forces.
