Pfc. Cox Gets Bronze Star In Germany

Pfc. Norman O. Cox of Athens has been awarded the Bronze Star for
heroic achievement during military operations against the enemy.

He is serving with the 84th Infantry (Railsplitter) Division commanded by
Maj. Gen. A. R. Bolling.

During an attack against a German-held town, Cox made ten trips over
a road which was under direct enemy observation and heavy artillery
fire to supply his company with gasoline, rations and ammunition.

Currently in action in Germany, Pvt. Cox took part in the Roer River
crossing and breakthrough to the Rhine.
