The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Staff Sergeant Darrell E. Fuller (ASN: 39400640), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with 120th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 26 February 1945, in Germany. Observing an enemy tank, Staff Sergeant Fuller and a comrade under fire of deadly enemy small arms moved to a position where they could deliver effective fire on it. They fired two phosphorous grenades which set the tank on fire forcing it to withdraw. As the tank was withdrawing, they finished knocking it out with a fragmentation grenaded. Staff Sergeant Fuller and his comrade, along with other friendly troops who had moved up, fired on the fleeing crew members, forcing them to surrender. Staff Sergeant Fuller’s gallant action in braving the enemy fire aided his comrades in taking their objective with a minimum of casualties. The gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty demonstrated by Staff Sergeant Fuller, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
