The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Field Artillery) Robert S. Feinburg (ASN: 0-393785), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Headquarters Battery, *** Field Artillery Battalion, 34th Infantry Division, on ** September 1943, in the vicinity of *****, Italy. Lieutenant Feinburg unhesitatingly flew a cub plane from a constructed flight deck of an L.S.T., through small arms fire and through the trajectory of enemy and friendly artillery and landed on a road at *****, Italy, ahead of the battery position. From this advanced point he carried out a reconnaissance flight over Mountain ***** and into enemy territory, gaining valuable information for higher headquarters. Lieutenant Feinburg’s courage and exemplary performance of duty was an inspiration to the officers and men of his Battalion and a credit to the Armed Forces of the United States.
