The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant [then Technician Fifth Grade] Michael Rominyk (ASN; 31119845), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 105th Medical Battalion, 30th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 14 July 1944, in France. Sergeant Rominyk repeatedly evacuated casualties under direct enemy fire during the daylight hours. Driving a hone half tone vehicle, with litter carriers from the battalion aid station, he voluntarily evacuated the wounded over terrain which was inaccessible to litter bearers because of the heavy shell fire. His actions permitted uninterrupted evacuation of casualties to areas of comparative safety. This courage and loyal devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Armed Forces.
