The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Aubrey H.

Corporal Brewer, Supply Sergeant of Service Company volunteered to go on a patrol, and as number two man in the patrol shot and killed a sniper that was firing at the point man. On return from the patrol Corporal Brewer acting as a Company messenger took a jeep and while under enemy tank, mortar and small arms fire made contact with the regimental command post and again returned to his company. He then volunteered to guide wounded men from his company to the Medical Aid Station while under fire. Having completed this he volunteered to be an assistant gunner on a bazooka team that was assigned to knocked out an enemy tank which had a road blocked off. His team knocked out this thank, destroyed an enemy ammunition truck and a machine gun which was firing on the Service Company Compound. By destroying the above enemy equipment Service Company was able to evacuate from Taejon. The leadership and outstanding devotion to duty displayed by Corporal Brewer reflects great credit on himself and the Armed Forces.
