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 Milton S. Golowski (ASN: 32181978), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with the 117th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division, in action in Germany, on 26 March 1945. Sergeant Golowski was the leader of a patrol which was assigned the mission of entering enemy territory to capture a prisoner and locate enemy positions. As the patrol moved forward, a vehicle was heard approaching. Sergeant Golowski quickly directed his men to take concealed positions and ambush the vehicle. In the brief fight which ensued one enemy soldier was wounded, an enlisted man and officer captured, and a reconnaissance car destroyed. Sergeant Golowski’s quick thinking and gallant leadership were responsible for providing his unit with information which permitted the destruction of several enemy positions with artillery fire. The gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty demonstrated by Staff Sergeant Golowski, 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.
