Bio

Bronze Star Is Given Sgt. Zubik; Was In Germany Sgt. Jerome G. Zubik, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Zubik, has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement in action, according to a copy of the citation received here. The citation reads as follows: "For heroic achievement in action on 20 March 1945 in the Siegfried line, Germany, Sgt. Zubik and Corp. McCuigan, bazooka gunners, advanced to within 35 yards of an enemy-held pill box in an attempt to neutralize the position. They succeeded in destroying the enemy position with six well-placed rounds from their weapon, despite the intense enemy fire directed at them. The heroic actions of Sgt. Zubik and Corp. McCuigan in knocking out the enemy position materially aided their company in its advance through the Siegfried line. -1945 Bryan Eagle Contributor: John Clay Ellisor - [email protected] Funeral services are scheduled for Friday for a decorated war veteran and former Bryan mayor who died Sunday.
