Conger (ASN: 0-887446), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Battery C, 113th Field Artillery Battalion, 30th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 21 February 1945, in Germany. Lieutenant Conger remained at his observation post despite constant enemy shelling in an effort to locate enemy artillery positions. The information he relayed to his own unit enabled them to neutralize the enemy positions. His staunch courage and disregard for his safety reflect great upon himself and the Armed Forces.

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Second Lieutenant (Field Artillery) Alwyn D. Conger (ASN: 0-887446), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Battery C, 113th Field Artillery Battalion, 30th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 25 December 1944, in Belgium. Lieutenant Conger was adjusting artillery fire on a large column of enemy Infantry when suddenly an enemy concentration of mortar fire fell on his observation post. In spite of the extreme danger from shells which were striking all around him, Lieutenant Conger continued to make his adjustment of fire which was so accurate that approximately two hundred and fifty of the enemy were killed and several hundred wounded and the enemy column gave up its plan of attack, withdrawing to the rear. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
