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 Technical Sergeant Warren G. Campbell (ASN: 33306271), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 83d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 26 July 1944, near ****, France. When his platoon leader was pinned down by enemy fire, Technical Sergeant Campbell reorganized the remainder of the platoon and, wholly disregarding his personal safety, personally led it through deadly carbine gun fire to secure the right flank of the company. During the furious action, Technical Sergeant Campbell was critically wounded but with undaunted devotion to duty above himself he personally remained in command of the platoon until its position was secure. Technical Sergeant Campbell died before he could be evacuated. His courageous leadership and courage reflect the finest traditions of the military service.
