For meritorious service in connection with military operations against an enemy of the United States at Winden, Germany, on 25-26 February 1945. Technician Fifth Grade Apolinario, a truck driver, after driving a truck load of men to the site of a Bailey Bridge on the Roer River, volunteered to work on the most difficult tasks in its construction. His enthusiasm and diligent efforts were an inspiration to the men with whom he worked and contributed substantially to the speedy completion of the bridge. T/5 Apolinario’s steadfast devotion to duty reflects great credit on him and the Armed Forces of the United States.
