The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant Ruben W. Harrison (ASN: 34444189), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 335th Infantry Regiment, 84th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in Germany, 23 April 1945. During an assault on enemy positions by the infantry battalion to which he was assigned as a Medical Aid Man, Sergeant Harrison voluntarily left the battalion’s rear aid station, forded a river with an amphibious vehicle, and located four casualties to whom he administered immediate treatment after which he evacuated them for further medical attention. The aggressive, courageous and unselfish action displayed by Sergeant Harrison under constant enemy fire reflects high credit upon himself and the military service.
