John F. Majersky

Headquarters 42nd (Rainbow) Infantry Division, Office of the Commanding General. Award of Bronze Star Medal. By direction of the President, under the provisions of Army Regulations 600-45, 22 September 1943, as amended, the Bronze Star Medal is award to: John F. Majersky, JR. 33 362 086, Private First Class, Infantry, Company H, 222d Infantry, for heroic achievement in action 25 January 1945, near Scheighausen, France.
When two of his comrades were wounded by direct fire from German self-propelled guns, Private Majersky crawled to where they lay and brought them to safety where he administered first aid. He then carried them to a vehicle three hundred yards to the rear over terrain still exposed to heavy enemy fire and drove them from this point to the Battalion Aid Station passing through an artillery barrage enroute. Private Majersky's intrepid action in the face of the enemy is in keeping with the finest tradition of the Rainbow Division. Entered military service from Erie, Pennsylvania.
