Award Military Medal T/Sjt. Harry T. Bleil, 232nd Infantry Regiment, 42nd Infantry Division (33699248)

HARRY T. BLEIL, 33699248, Technical Sergeant (then Staff Sergeant), Company B, 232nd Infantry Regiment, for gallantry in action. On 5th-6th January 1945, at Stattmetten, France, Sergeant Bleil repeatedly exposed himself to enemy automatic and small arms fire in placing the machine guns of his section into effective positions and in directing their fire. When one of his crews was knocked out by enemy fire, Sergeant Bleil crawled out in the face of intense hostile fire and dragged his gun to a position from where it could deliver effective fire. Under his leadership his machine gun was an important factor in stopping the enemy attack on Statmetten. Entered military service from Warrendale, Pennsylvania.
