The Bronze Star medal with V Device is awarded to Private First Class Gerald L.

On that date, Private Pearson’s battery was subjected to an intense enemy artillery and mortar barrage which prevented the artillerymen from servicing their howitzers and inflicted severe casualties upon them. Orders were received to vacate the position immediately, leaving the guns and equipment in the area. Later that day, volunteers were called for to reenter the vacated position in an attempt to secure a howitzer and take it to the new battery position. Private Pearson volunteered for his hazardous mission and, with two comrades, entered the area which still was under observation by the enemy and still under heavy concentrations of artillery and mortar fire. With complete disregard for personal safety and indifference to the hostile fire, he moved calmly through the area and, aided by his comrades, succeeded in placing the piece in traveling position, hooked it to a truck and moved it to the new position. The timely arrival of this desperately needed howitzer allowed the battery to furnish support to the hard pressed infantry, and the fire delivered by the gun succeeded in breaking up an enemy attack. The gallantry and high devotion to duty displayed by Private Pearson on this occasion reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered the military service from Minnesota.

Private Perkins was a member of a combat patrol charged with seizing and holding forward positions until a counterattack by other elements of the regiment could be launched. Despite intense enemy artillery and small arms fire, the objectives were seized. When information was received that an air strike was to be made close to the occupied bunkers, Private Perkins volunteered to inform the balance of the patrol. Delivery of the message involved movement through enemy fire over terrain which offered little or no cover. As he was leaving the trench a mortar shell exploded about 4 feet away, subjecting Private Perkins to severe concussion. On a second attempt Private Perkins suffered another concussion under similar circumstances. When the counterattacking elements passed through, the patrol returned to its assembly area where Private Perkins refused evacuation until he had reorganized the patrol and assured medical attention to the wounded.

PARTIAL CITATION
