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 Technician Fifth Grade Tadashi Kubo (ASN: 30106096), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the Medical Detachment, 442d Regimental Combat Team, 92d Infantry Division, in action against the enemy on 22 October 1944 and 31 October 1944, in France. Technician Fifth Grade Kubo led his litter squad to evacuate a casualty from an exposed field which was covered by traversing enemy machine gun fire. He ordered his squad to take cover under an embankment while he braved the enemy fire alone and crawled to the wounded man. After administering first aid under fire, he dragged the casualty to the shelter of a mound and summoned the litter squad for the evacuation. On another occasion, Technician Fifth Grade Kubo answered a call for a medic from an assaulting platoon which was under a terrific concentration of hostile fire. In spite of the heavy fire, he made his way to a wounded sergeant and administered first aid. Before he could evacuate the casualty, he was killed by a sniper. Technician Fifth Grade Kubo’s gallant devotion to duty reflects great credit on the high traditions of the United States Army.
