CAPTAIN MURRAY S. PULVER, Infantry, while serving with the Army of the United States, distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operation on 16 July 1944 in France. When intense enemy fire inflicted numerous casualties and wounded the leader of another platoon, Captain Pulver, commanding the reserve platoon, moved forward and assumed command. The platoon was on the verge of panic due to a murderous enemy onslaught when Captain Pulver fearlessly exposed himself and urged them to remain steadfast. With a bazooka, he personally knocked out two enemy tanks and killed a number of enemy infantry with rifle grenades. He then rescued a wounded man from an exposed position. Captain Pulver’s extraordinary heroism was responsible for thwarting the counter-attack and forced the enemy to withdraw completely. The extraordinary heroism and courageous actions of Captain Pulver reflect great credit upon himself and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.

Mr. Pulver has been a member since 1983 and resides in Arizona.
