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 Private Sidney Waldman (ASN: 32204213), United States Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving with the 915th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division in action on 14 November 1944 in the vicinity of Nord de Guerre, France. During an enemy artillery barrage of Battery **, 915th Field Artillery Battalion, a soldier in an adjacent section to Private Waldman was wounded by enemy shell fragments. Despite the intense enemy fire, Private Waldman, Cannoneer, voluntarily and at risk of his life, left a position of security and proceeded toward the casualty to administer first aid. Although Private Waldman was sounded fatally in this heroic attempt, the courage he displayed was a lasting inspiration to those who witnessed it. His gallantry was in accordance with military tradition.
