EVAN C. VOSS, Staff Sergeant, Infantry, Company C, *** Infantry Regiment, for extraordinary heroism in action on 2 February 1945, in Oberhoffen, France when two German tanks, supported by infantry elements, launched a counterattack to retake a row of houses, Sergeant Voss, acting platoon sergeant of the 3d platoon, moved to an exposed position at a first floor window of the platoon command post and began relaying corrections to the friendly artillery observer. Although he was subjected to a heavy concentration of enemy automatic weapons fire, he remained in position and fired his rifle at the enemy attackers. His accurate fire killed four Germans, wounded four and forced the remainder to flee in disorder. After losing their infantry support, the tanks withdrew. By his magnificent courage and outstanding aggressiveness, Sergeant Voss was responsible for repelling a strong enemy counterattack.

Mr. Voss joined the L.O.V. in 1987 as a life member and resides in Wisconsin.
