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 Lewis E. Randall (ASN: 11013461), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company B, 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in North Africa, during the period from January to June 1943. During a heavy tank attack, Private Randall left a sheltered position, entered an area being shelled by the enemy, and successfully led three ambulances through this area to safety. 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 and the United States Army.
