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 E. Rosing (ASN: 35801894), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 103d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in in France on the night of 24, November 1944. On that date the battalion point, for which Private Rosing was acting as interpreter, was engaged in cutting wire entanglements of a enemy sentry. Private First Class Rosing, a brilliant conversationalist in the enemy’s language, stepped forward with utter disregard for his life to engage the sentry in conversation. Ordered to drop his arms and advance to within 15 feet of the sentry he did so. This gallant move gave the point an opportunity to seek cover. Assured that his group had reached safety, Private First Class Rosing dived for the bushes as the sentry opened fire, and returned to his comrades unscathed. His quick thinking during a tense situation enabled the battalion to push forward to its objective. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
