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 Peter Wokulich (ASN: 12003473), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 1st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy during the period from April through August 1943. When enemy shells landed in his battalion’s command post and injured several men, Private Wokulich fearlessly left a sheltered position and assisted his Battalion’s surgeon in rendering first aid and evacuating the wounded. 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.
