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 Julius P. Morrison, Jr. (ASN: 38424417), United States Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving as a Medical Aidman with Company K, 3d Battalion, 134th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division, in action in the vicinity of ****, south of ****, Normandy, France, on 30 July 1944. During an attack in the vicinity of ****, a squad of infantry was pinned down by heavy enemy machine gun and mortar fire which caused numerous casualties among its ranks. Although himself wounded in the right arm, Private Morrison, a company Aid Man, crawled forward and administered first aid to the wounded soldiers until he was again severely wounded and rendered unconscious. The courageous actions and zealous devotion to duty on the part of Private Morrison, who placed the lives of his comrades above his own safety, reflects the highest credit upon his character as a soldier, and upon the Medical Department of the Army.
