The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Warren A. Jeffers (ASN: 35560407), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company I, 3d Battalion, 254th Infantry Regiment, 63d Infantry Division, in action on 23 January 1945, in the vicinity of Bennwihr, France. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Private First Class Jeffers courageously and of his own volition entered a snow-covered schu-mine field in order to evacuate four seriously wounded men. Alone and exposed to constant enemy fire, he labored for eight hours rendering first aid single-handedly and carrying each man nine hundred yards to the aid station; each trip required that he make a new path through the mine field. His bravery and devotion to duty under hazardous conditions reflect the highest credit upon himself and upon the Armed Forces of the United States.
