Silver Star
Awarded posthumously for actions during the Vietnam War
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 8, 1918 (amended by act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Captain (Corps of Engineers) Leo Bert Abramoski (ASN: 0-89656), United States Army, for gallantry in action while engaged in military operations in Vietnam, on 28 July 1964. As an Advisor to an engineer battalion of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam, Captain Abramoski was returning from an inspection trip with two other American advisors when an enemy mine detonated, disabled their jeep, and a Viet Cong force of more than forty ambushed them. Captain Abramoski jumped from the vehicle and, despite the vicious onslaught, bravely engaged the overwhelming enemy at close quarters. Although wounded by grenade fragments and automatic weapons fire, he fought on with indomitable courage and continued to inflict heavy casualties on the assaulting enemy until he was mortally wounded. Captain Abramoski's fortitude, determination, and conspicuous gallantry are in the highest traditions of the United States Army and reflects great credit upon himself and the military services.
