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 Thomas T. Nakahara (ASN: 30104082), 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 20 October 1944, in France. When the company to which Private First Class Nakahara was attached as an aid man attacked the enemy, it received instant and concentrated small arms, bazooka, and rifle grenade fire from the foe. Two men were seriously wounded by rifle grenade fire and lay exposed to the enemy. Although Private First Class Nakahara was wounded in the hand by a fragment, he refused to go back to the aid station and started to the aid of the two casualties. In full view of the foe who fired at him regardless of his red cross brassard he stubbornly proceeded to the wounded men and carried them to safety. He administered first aid and effected the casualties’ evacuation to an aid station. Private First Class Nakahara’s courage and devotion to duty, which saved the wounded men from possible loss of life, reflect credit on himself and the best traditions of the Armed Forces.
