GENERAL JAMES A. VAN FLEET. His first Oak Leaf Cluster was awarded for action in December 1944 while commanding the 90th Infantry Division in the Saar River operations. He personally directed laying and maintaining a smoke screen which in spite of shifting winds, unpredictable weather, and fierce enemy action, completely concealed all crossing movements from the enemy.
