The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Corporal Morris Henry Brown, Jr. (ASN: 12167187), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Company D, 781st Tank Battalion, 103d Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces in the vicinity of Untergriesheim, Germany, on 7 and 8 April 1945. On 7 April 1945, while under intense enemy fire, Corporal Brown left his tank two times to rescue two wounded Infantrymen. The next day he fearlessly left the comparative safety of his tank to rescue his wounded platoon sergeant from a disabled tank. As he was preparing to return, he was wounded by enemy fire. Despite his wound, he got up, ordered his men to evacuate the sergeant, and started for the other injured men. Again he was hit by enemy fire, this time mortally wounded, and fell into the path of his own tank. Corporal Brown’s extraordinary heroism, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty at the cost of his life, exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
