The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Technician Fifth Grade Henry Guarnere (ASN: 33026746), United States Army, for gallantry in action on ****** 1943 in the vicinity of *****, Tunisia while serving as a Medical Aidman with the 47th Armored Medical Battalion, 1st Armored Division. During heavy counter battery fire a soldier in a gun section was seriously wounded and unable to reach shelter. Technician Fifth Grade Guarnere voluntarily and without hesitation ran to the wounded soldier and began administering first aid to him. Although the position was still receiving heavy fire he completely disregarded his own welfare by remaining with the wounded soldier and began administering first aid treatment. His daring and heroic actions undoubtedly saved the soldier’s life. The gallantry, perseverance, and concern for the welfare of a wounded comrade displayed by Technician Fifth Grade Guarnere reflect great credit upon himself and the command and are highly commendable.
