Dear Mrs. Johnson:
I recently have had the privilege
of awarding your son, Pfc. James
L. Johnson, Troop E, 12th Cavalry
Regiment, the Bronze Star Medal
which he earned for his splendid
work in the Philippine Islands
Campaign.
The decoration is bestowed on
those whose achievements have
been so heroic or meritorious dur-
ing combat against the enemy of
the United States, as to distinguish
them above their comrades.
We are all very proud of such
soldiers as vour son who have
contributed so much to the suc-
cess of our country’s armed forces '
in this area. •

At the same time, Red Army
forces battered out new gains along
a 350 mile front m southeastern .
Europe and were mopping up en-
emy remnants on the Vistula Del-
