Hi All,
Just managed to get my hands on the citation for my Father's Silver Star and was wondering if anyone remembered this action. If I read the dates right it occured during the push through the Haguenau forest during the break out to the German border.

David Charles Rosenbluth, 32828105, Private First Class, Company A, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Division, for gallantry in
action on 17 March 1945 in France. As a rifle platoon was dismounting from a truck, an enemy self-propelled gun opened fire. One shell landed in the midst
of the group, killing several men and wounding a number of others. Private First Class Rosenbluth quickly rallied the remaining men and led them to a
covered location. Then while shells continued to burst in the area, he returned to the casualties, applied expert first aid to the most seriously wounded
and, with the help of others, carried them to a place of safety. By his gallant act, with utter disregard for his own life, Private First Class Rosenbluth
assisted in saving the lives of many of his comrades. Entered the service from New York, New York.
I remember my Dad saying that one of the men who was hurt was Joe, "the barber", who was the company interpreter. If anyone remembers this could you contact me at terry.rosenbluth@reuters.com
