The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Nick Zoroy (ASN: 33117094), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Battery B, 7th Field Artillery Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in North Africa and Sicily, during the period from February through July. While under heavy enemy machine gun, rifle, and artillery fire, Corporal Zoroy advanced with forward infantry elements and assisted in establishing and maintaining radio communication with his forward observer until he was wounded and his radio destroyed by enemy artillery fire. 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.
