The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Warrant Officer Junior Grade Thomas Fieldcamp (ASN: W-2129181), United States Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving with the 90th Signal Company, 90th Infantry Division in action on 9 November 1944 in the vicinity of Gavisse, France. In the early morning hours, Warrant Officer Junior Grade Fieldcamp, Assistant Division Wire Officer, established a traffic control line between the Division Command Post and a Moselle River bridge site. When, during extremely heavy enemy artillery fire, a telephone became disconnected, he instantly left his place of shelter to reconnect the telephone. He was mortally wounded in this action, but his utter disregard for self and complete devotion to duty were an inspiration to all who witnessed his deed. His gallantry was in accordance with high military traditions.
