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 [then Private] Frank P. Nagra (ASN: 36364737), United States Army, for gallantry in action in northern France while serving with the Medical Detachment, 358th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division. On 11 June 1944 when his battalion was attacking, Private First Class Nagra volunteered to go into an area then under heavy mortar and small arms fire. He assisted in carrying out a man who was wounded and bleeding badly. Making his way under the fire to the wounded man, he was able to stop the bleeding and improvised a litter from impregnated clothing and boards and completed the evacuation thereby saving a life at the great risk of his own. This gallant action on the part of Private First Class Nagra is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
