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 Seymour Silverfarb (ASN: 32433095), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Medical Detachment, 222d Infantry Regiment, 42d Infantry Division, in action on 11 April 1945, at Schweinfurt, Germany. When a man was severely wounded during the attack on Schweinfurt, Private Silverfarb, although warned of the deadly enemy fire concentrated on the area, steadily made his way forward. As he approached the wounded man, Private Silverfarb was hit by enemy sniper fire and was mortally wounded. He died while still attempting to administer aid to the casualty. Private Silverfarb’s gallant actions exemplify the highest traditions of the armed forces of the United States.
