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 Logan B. Ramey (ASN: 13065089), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company K, 3d Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in Sicily during the period from July through October 1943. During an attack on a strategic enemy position, Private Ramey observed an enemy machine gun retarding the advance of his company. He fearlessly assisted in an attack on this emplacement until painfully wounded. His gallant action contributed materially to the success of his company in this engagement. Private First Class Ramey’s 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.
