The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Commander [then Lieutenant] Bruce Lewis Carr (NSN: 0-70327), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Assistant Approach Officer, attached to the U.S.S. GRENADIER (SS-210), in action against enemy Japanese forces during her SECOND War Patrol in enemy-controlled waters from 12 April to 10 June 1942. Demonstrating a thorough knowledge of attack problems, Commander Carr rendered valuable assistance to his Commanding Officer during attacks which resulted in the sinking of two enemy ships totaling 24,400 tons and, in addition, contributed materially to the success of his vessel in evading enemy countermeasures. His leadership, courage and devotion to duty were an inspiration to the officers and men and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
