The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain (Infantry), [then First Lieutenant] Julius G. Resnick (ASN: 0-1313449), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company L, 3d Battalion, *** Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division, in action during the Battle of the **** Salient in Luxembourg and Belgium from 5 to 19 January 1945. When his platoon leaders became casualties, Captain Resnick, Commanding Company L, *** Infantry Regiment, without aid from other officers, led his troops in numerous attacks against the enemy in spite of the fact that his feet were badly frost-bitten. He directed the organization of each platoon, made personal reconnaissance tours alone, captured an enemy sentry on one occasion, and was always to be found at the head of his troops. His aggressive leadership, keen tactical ability and intrepidity were an inspiration to his men, and vitally responsible for their success in battle. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
