The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Master Sergeant Edmund S. Glenn (ASN: 32860362), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving with Headquarters, 3d Armored Division, in France and Belgium from 25 July 1944 to 3 September 1944. As chief interpreter of a Military Intelligence Team, Master Sergeant Glenn performed his duties in a superior fashion, contacting civilians and members of the underground, often at great personal risk to himself, and obtained extremely valuable information. His analysis of enemy information and capabilities, based largely on factual reports he obtained on individual reconnaissance missions materially aided in the successful accomplishment of securing objectives. Master Sergeant Glenn’s untiring, determined devotion to duty, in the face of constant enemy resistance, contributed greatly to the success of operations until he was wounded on a reconnaissance mission. His bravery and fearlessness, coupled with a clever and brilliant understanding of various tactics, was of extreme importance. The actions of Master Sergeant Glenn reflect the highest credit upon himself and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Armed Forces.
